About this check: BMI is a screening indicator only — not a medical decision. The merchant-navy fitness band is roughly 18.5–25; a BMI of 30+ is typically a rejection at the DGMA medical. Final fitness is decided only by a DGMA-approved doctor, who also assesses height, vision, and overall health. HBIMS-NAF&SA is an admissions facilitation framework, not an MTI, and offers no admission or fitness assurance.
