Indian Army Agniveer Rally Recruitment 2026: Details, Eligibility & Run Prep (SarkariResult Style)
Indian Army ne Agnipath Scheme ke under Agniveer Rally 2026 ka official notification release kar diya hai. Jo youth Indian Army me serve karne ka sapna dekhte hain, unke liye ye saal ka sabse bada event hota hai. Expected 25000+ vacancies ke liye all-India level par alag-alag ARO (Army Recruiting Offices) ke dwara rallies conduct ki jayengi. Agniveer intake 4 saal ke short-term contract ke liye hota hai, jisme se upto 25% candidates ko permanent commission / regular cadre me retain kiya jata hai based on their performance, medical fitness, aur army requirement.
Pichle kuch time se Army ne selection flow change kar diya hai. Ab sabse pehle Phase I me "Online Common Entrance Exam (CEE)" conduct kiya jata hai. Iska faida ye hai ki ground par bheed kam hoti hai aur sirf padhne wale aur genuine candidates hi rally ground tak pahunchte hain. Phase I pass karne walo ko Phase II yani Physical Fitness Test (PFT), Physical Measurement Test (PMT), aur Medical ke liye bulaya jata hai. Isliye ab aapse sirf running nahi, balki written exam ki solid taiyari bhi demand ki jati hai.
Different Categories/Trades of Agniveer
Indian Army ek hi rally me alag-alag trades ke liye form bharwati hai: 1) Agniveer General Duty (GD) - 10th pass ke liye. 2) Agniveer Technical - 12th pass (PCM) ke liye. 3) Agniveer Clerk / Store Keeper Technical (SKT) - 12th pass kisi bhi stream me but minimum 60% marks and subject requirements. 4) Agniveer Tradesmen (10th Pass). 5) Agniveer Tradesmen (8th Pass) - House Keeper, Syce etc. post ke liye.
Age Limit Details (Crucial Point)

Aapki Date of Birth official notification me diye gaye specific window (e.g., 01 Oct 2005 to 01 April 2009 - always check exact dates on your ARO PDF) ke beech aani chahiye. Ek din ka bhi difference accept nahi hota kyunki portal automatically date of birth reject kar deta hai.
Financial Package and Seva Nidhi
Salary structure (Customized Package) pahle saal 30,000 INR per month se start hota hai, jisme in-hand 21,000 INR milta hai aur 9,000 INR Agniveer Corpus Fund me jata hai.

Sath hi 48 Lakhs ka non-contributory life insurance cover bhi diya jata hai.
Selection Process: Phase I & Phase II
Phase I (Online CEE): Candidate ko pehle online computer-based test dena hota hai. GD me General Knowledge, General Science, Maths, aur Logical Reasoning aati hai. Negative marking (0.5 marks/wrong answer) hoti hai. Exam pass karne ke liye strong syllabus cover karna zaroori hai.
Phase II (Recruitment Rally): CEE merit me aane walo ko Admit card milta hai rally ke liye. Yahan sabse bada test 1.6 Km Run ka hota hai. Group 1 (upto 5 Min 30 Sec) walo ko 60 marks, Group 2 (5 Min 31 Sec to 5 Min 45 Sec) walo ko 48 marks milte hain. Iske sath hi Pull-ups, 9-feet ditch, aur Zig-Zag balance test hota hai.

Bonus Marks (NCC & ITI / Diploma)
Army ne technical qualification aur discipline ko badhawa dene ke liye bonus marks ka system rakha hai. NCC A, B, aur C certificate walo ko respective marks diye jate hain (NCC C walo ko 20 marks ya kuch trades me exemption). Vahi Agniveer Tech me ITI (1 yr, 2 yr) ya Diploma holders ko massive bonus marks (20 to 50 marks) milte hain, jo CEE score me add hokar selection 90% confirm kar dete hain.
Step-by-Step Form Filling and Common Mistakes
Aapko joinindianarmy.nic.in par jakar apna profile Aadhaar linked mobile number ya DigiLocker se verify karke banavana hoga. Jinka Aadhaar update nahi hai (Name/DOB mismatch with 10th marksheet), wo pehle usko theek karwayein, warna registration nahi hoga. Photo upload karte waqt dhyan rakhein ki photo recent ho (not more than 3 months old) aur light background me ho. Application fee generally 250/- (+ bank charges) lagti hai jo online pay karni hoti hai.
Final Tip: Dalaalo (Touts) se hamesha bach kar rahein. Army ka selection 100% transparent aur computerized hota hai. Apni padhai aur physical fitness par dhyan de.
