SSB and Haryana Reserve Posts for Ex-Agniveers Under New Recruitment Rules
The Ministry of Home Affairs has notified new recruitment rules for Sashastra Seema Bal (SSB) constable posts, reserving 50% of vacancies for ex-Agniveers with age and test relaxations. The SSB will conduct a special recruitment drive for these candidates, applying existing caste-based quotas. Meanwhile, Haryana's Cabinet approved a 20% horizontal reservation for ex-Agniveers in various state government posts, enhancing opportunities for their career transition post-service under the Agnipath scheme. Other central forces have yet to update recruitment policies.
