Selection Process
The selection process for the Indian Army Agniveer recruitment is conducted in two primary phases: Phase-I (Online Common Entrance Exam) and Phase-II (Recruitment Rally).
While the general sequence remains consistent, specific requirements like marks and qualifying criteria vary by post:
Phase-I: Online Common Entrance Examination (CEE)
All candidates must first clear an objective Multiple Choice Question (MCQ) based computer test.
General Scoring: Candidates are awarded full marks for correct answers and nil marks for unattempted questions.
Post-Specific Requirements:
- Agniveer Clerk / Store Keeper Technical: Candidates must additionally pass an Online Typing Test during the CEE. A speed of 30 words per minute (wpm) in English is desirable. Only those who qualify for the typing test are eligible for Phase-II.
- Other Posts: Selection for Phase-II is based on the merit list prepared from the CEE scores.
Phase-II: Recruitment Rally
Shortlisted candidates from Phase-I are called for the recruitment rally, which involves the following tests:
1. Physical Fitness Test (PFT)
This test carries different weightage depending on the post:
Agniveer General Duty (GD) and Tradesmen: Marks are awarded for the 1.6 Km run and Pull-Ups (Beam), which contribute to the final merit.
- 1.6 Km Run: Up to 60 marks based on time (Group-I to Group-IV).
- Pull-Ups: Up to 40 marks based on the number of successful repetitions.
- Qualifying Tests: 9-foot ditch jump and Zig-Zag Balance (must be qualified, no marks awarded).
- Agniveer Technical and Clerk / Store Keeper Technical: These candidates only need to qualify in all physical tests; no marks from the PFT are added to their final merit.
2. Physical Measurement Test (PMT)
Candidates are measured for height, weight, and chest according to the standards set for their specific category and region.
3. Medical Examination
Candidates who clear the PFT and PMT undergo a medical exam by the Army Medical Team. Those found “Medically Unfit” for certain criteria (like weight) may be given up to 21 days for a review at a military hospital.
Final Selection & Merit List
- The final merit list is prepared based on the CEE marks plus any applicable Bonus Marks (for NCC, Sports, or ITI/Diploma certificates).
- Agniveer Technical: Can receive up to 50 bonus marks for ITI/Diploma qualifications.
- Other Categories: Maximum bonus marks are generally capped at 25 (e.g., for NCC ‘C’ certificate + RD Parade).
