Eligibility for RRB exams with an eye power of minus 2 depends on the specific post you are applying for. Certain technical and safety-related roles, such as loco pilots and railway guards, have strict medical standards, including vision requirements. However, non-technical posts like clerks or assistants may have less stringent criteria. If your vision is correctable to the required standard using glasses or lenses, you may still qualify. Check the detailed medical guidelines for your chosen post in the RRB notification.

If you have an eye power of -2, whether you can apply for RRB exams depends on the medical standards required for the specific post you’re aiming for.


For example:


A-3 Medical Standard: Your power should not exceed 2 diopters. So, if your power is exactly -2, you may qualify as long as your vision is corrected to 6/9 in both eyes with glasses.


B-1 Medical Standard: Here, the limit is 4 diopters, so you would qualify as well if your vision meets the required correction standards.



Other vision-related criteria like color vision, binocular vision, and field of vision also matter. It's best to carefully check the medical standards for the job you're applying for.

Hello there,

Yes, you can apply for the RRB exam with minus 2 eye power (myopia), but there are certain vision requirements for different posts. The general eligibility criteria regarding eyesight vary depending on the position you're applying for.

For most RRB exams (such as for Assistant Loco Pilot, Technician, etc.), the minimum vision standards are:

  • Corrected vision with glasses is generally acceptable.
  • You may need to meet specific visual acuity standards (such as 6/9 in one eye and 6/12 in the other) when corrected with glasses or contact lenses.

It's important to check the specific notification for the exam you are applying for, as some roles may have stricter vision requirements, especially for posts related to safety-critical roles like Loco Pilots or Train Engineers . If you're applying for a technical or non-technical post, your eye power of minus 2 may not pose an issue as long as it's corrected appropriately.
