Amid Agniveer review, Army rolls out phase-II of recruitment process

IndiaTimes Tuesday, 25 June 2024
The armed forces recruitment programme undergoes enhancements to attract quality candidates, with ministries working towards this goal. The Agnipath recruitment scheme, launched in June 2022, aims to rejuvenate the armed forces by enlisting young individuals aged 17-and-a-half to 21 years for a four-year term, with the option to retain 25% of them for an additional 15 years. The recruitment process includes an initial online written exam followed by a recruitment rally. The panel of secretaries is expected to give a final presentation to PM Narendra Modi.
