The minimum height to become a model varies depending on the specific type of modeling.
For runway and high fashion modeling, the typical minimum height requirements are:
- Female Models: 5'7'' (171 cm)
- Male Models: 5'10'' (178 cm)
However, other types of modeling, such as commercial modeling, may have more flexible height requirements. Pageants like Mr India often require male models to be taller than 5'7" (171 cms).
