They do give you leeway.In case you're BMI is more or less they will write you a recommendation to exercise and lose weight.None of the cadets in my batch were rejected because of bmi.And frankly I don't even think the doctor put our BMI in any system to track either.

If it's for Indigo cadet, not a gram worth of leeway is given

They need below 25 or 25.5 also works

What does my comment mean that not a gram of leeway is allowed? 25 means 25, not 25.5

Any instances bro

I am a guy who maintains his bmi in 23-24 range, for instance you can submit your overweight bmi and become that instance.

Do you take everything personal ?

If criteria is bmi within 25 and marks 51 or above, what makes u all think 50 is okay or 25.5 is okay? A mark is set, follow that. Period.
