The Staff Selection Commission decides the SSC GD Height criteria. After the SSC Constable Recruitment is officially out, the candidates will be able to see detailed SSC General Duty Constable height criteria. Height criteria guarantee that candidates meet the physical standards required for the role. The candidates who got higher marks than the SSC GD Cut Off, will have to appear for the SSC GD Physical Test 2024. The minimum height requirement for male candidates is 170 cm, while female candidates must be at least 157 cm tall. However, there are exceptions for applicants from specific categories, such as Scheduled Tribes (ST), where the height minimum is 162.5 cm for men and 150 cm for women. These height requirements are critical because they help preserve the physical condition and capability required for the rigorous duties of an SSC GD Constable.
