Army made changes to Agniveer Recruitment Process: Key Points

• The first online CEE will take place in April at about 200 locations across the country, and all required preparations have been undertaken.
• The revised process will guarantee that the cognitive component of selection will receive more attention.
• It will reach a wider audience across the country and reduce the crowd size at recruitment rallies, making them easier to manage.
• An advertisement with the heading “Transformational Changes in Recruitment in Indian Army” that appeared in a prestigious publication describes the new three-step system for the recruiting process.
• It states that the first phase will be an online CEE for all applicants at designated centres, followed by a physical fitness test for CEE-qualified applicants at recruitment events, and finally, medical exams.
• In the past, the Agniveer recruitment procedure required candidates to pass a physical fitness test, then move on to a series of medical examinations before showing up for the CEE. But now, the initial step is a standard online CEE. This will also assist in easing the logistics and screening procedure.
• The new process will apply to about 40,000 applicants who want to join the army starting with the 2023–2024 recruitment cycle.
