What is the minimum height and reach for cabin crew in India?

Female cabin crew minimum height is about 155 cm in India and 157 cm internationally; male is around 170 cm. More importantly, airlines test an overhead reach of about 212 cm on tiptoe, which is the criterion that actually decides selection.

Is there a fixed weight or BMI limit for cabin crew?

There is no fixed weight limit. Airlines look for weight in proportion to height — broadly a healthy BMI around 18 to 25 — along with fitness and grooming. The BMI figure here is advisory only.

This is an indicative self-check, not an official assessment. Each airline sets its own exact criteria, and overhead reach (not raw height) is the standard most carriers actually test on assessment day.
