What is the correct height format in a biodata?

Key Takeaway

Write feet and inches first, followed by centimeters in brackets: e.g. 5 ft 7 in (170 cm). Measure accurately without shoes.

Detailed Advice

Feet and inches first, centimetres in brackets. Like this: 5 ft 7 in (170 cm).

Feet and inches is what Indian families think in. The cm value helps on matrimonial portals and for NRI profiles where people read in metric.

One request: measure properly, without shoes, and write the real number. Adding an inch is very common and completely pointless. It gets noticed in the first meeting itself.

Standard Height FormatPreview
Height: 5 ft 8 in (173 cm)  |  Complexion: Fair  |  Blood Group: O+

Best Practices (Do)

  • Include both imperial (ft/in) and metric (cm) for clarity.
  • Measure height bare-footed against a flat wall.

What to Avoid (Don't)

  • Don't artificially inflate your height by 1 or 2 inches.
  • Avoid writing only decimals like '5.7' which causes confusion between 5'7" and 5.7 feet.
