Centre Announces 50% Reservation and Recruitment Benefits for Ex-Agniveers in CAPFs
The Ministry of Home Affairs announced a 50% reservation for retired Agniveers in recruitment to Constable (General Duty) posts in Central Armed Police Forces (CAPFs) and Rifleman posts in Assam Rifles. Ex-Agniveers will receive age relaxations—three years generally and five years for the first batch—and exemptions from written exams and physical tests. A dedicated Ex-Agniveer wing has been established to coordinate their career progression. The first batch of Agniveers is yet to complete its four-year service term.
