Keloid Scars on the Arms: Eligibility for Police Academy Entrance Exam?

Based on the regulations at Point d Clause 2 Article 6 of Circular 15/2016/TT-BCA, the health standards required to apply to the police academy are determined as follows:

In cases where the police units or localities have higher height and weight requirements, they must report to the Minister for decision.

According to this regulation, the physique of candidates applying to the police must be balanced, without deformities or disfigurements. Regarding your case, whether the keloid scar on your arm from a past accident is considered a deformity or disfigurement will depend on the preliminary screening process and the conclusion of the Admissions Council.

If you meet the health conditions, to be eligible to apply to the police university, you must meet other standards such as academic level, age, political ethics, etc.

Note: In the year of registration, you can only apply to 1 (one) faculty, 1 (one) field of study at 1 (one) academy or university, and 1 (one) college of the People’s Public Security.
