Colour Vision Screening

Before you begin
  1. You get 15 seconds for each plate — 25 plates in all.
  2. Tap the number you see. Once chosen, an answer can't be changed.
  3. If the timer runs out, that plate is counted as missed.
  4. View on a bright screen with night-mode off for a fair result.
  5. This is a screening indicator, not a medical test.
Important: Screen colours vary by device, so this can't replace the calibrated Ishihara plates used at the DGMA medical. Use it only as an early heads-up — never as proof of fitness or a reason to worry. Final colour-vision fitness is decided only by a DGMA-approved doctor.

About this screening: It uses original, computer-generated Ishihara-style plates as a convenience indicator only. It is not a medical examination and its result — pass or otherwise — has no official standing. Colour-vision standards for Merchant Navy are set by DGMA and assessed only by an approved doctor on calibrated plates. Don't self-diagnose from this screen either way; if in doubt, get a professional eye test. HBIMS-NAF&SA is an admissions facilitation framework, not an MTI, and offers no fitness or admission assurance.
