Since Odisha comes in the eastern plains region concerning physical standards, then the candidates should adopt the required height as per their recruitment notification rather than taking a national height. As per the army recruitment notification for 2026, regional height standards have been mentioned along with the minimum chest required which is 77 cm with 5 cm expansion.
Weight: The weight has to be proportional to the candidate’s height and age.
