Yes, relaxation in physical standards is provided for candidates belonging to specific regions as per Government of India rules.

- Height relaxation of 2 cm for candidates from:
- North Eastern States
- Sikkim
- Jammu & Kashmir (for ST candidates)
- Gorkhas of Nepal
- Garhwalis, Kumaonis, and Himachalis
- Additional relaxation may apply for ST candidates of Andaman & Nicobar Islands and Lakshadweep

Such candidates must produce a domicile certificate or certificate from the competent authority confirming their origin. Relaxations are applied only in height, not in chest or weight, and must be verified during PST.
