Can't notice normally while seeing but I can feel when I check with my hands. I have a medical examination next month, A very strict on of Indian Air force. Would this be a problem? Or this nose bump cause me any problem? Does this grow in time ?

The dorsal home is composed of both bone and cartilage. The bony hump generally does not grow  over time unless there is a traumatic injury to it area and the skin over the bridge of the nose tends to thin out over the aging process. A  closed rhinoplasty can address shaving down the dorsal hump and narrowing the bridge line

Looking at your photo this minute hump will not cause you any problem for your medical exam and that will not grow worse by time.  I would not worry about it.  I wish you the very best.
