RESERVATION FOR RETIRED AGNIVEERS

The Ministry of Home Affairs has announced a new recruitment category for former Agniveers (Ex‑Agniveers) for the posts of Constable (General Duty) in Central Armed Police Forces and Rifleman in Assam Rifles. Fifty percent of the vacancies are reserved for Ex‑Agniveers, with a three‑year relaxation in the prescribed upper age limit and an additional five‑year relaxation for the first batch. Candidates in this category are exempted from the Physical Standards Test, Physical Efficiency Test and the written examination. A dedicated Ex‑Agniveer wing under the Ministry has been set up to coordinate their further progression, although the first batch has not yet completed its term of engagement.
