My height 170cm weight 55kg. Marathon runner next month i am join army. Jaihind….
it is too good for each person ….. i m so happy to know about the all information..
Are these the maximum permissible weights? Because I’m about 167 centimeters tall, and I’m quite well built. My weight is 75 but I can still run long distances do weights push ups etc.
They give time frame for over-weight candidates when selecting, in that period he/she has to bring his/her weight in the range they ask for.
