Indian Army makes major changes in recruitment process

Representational image

Jaipur: The Indian Army would follow a revised pattern for recruiting soldiers in different categories through Army recruitment rallies under which only those candidates who qualify a written exam would be called for further tests.




As per Major General JK Marwal, officiating DG (Recruitment) Army Headquarters, the written examination will be held first and qualified candidates would be called for further tests.


He added that the proposal was under consideration at the government-level.

Talking to reporters on the sidelines of an Army recruitment rally here, he said: "This will be a major change in the recruitment process which will reduce administrative arrangements and requirements. It will be more convenient.”

He said that Jaipur, Ambala, and Chennai Zones have been selected for the pilot project under the proposed system.

Currently, the written test takes place after the candidate clears physical fitness test and medical tests.

Marwal said that the entire recruitment system is online which has no chances of any irregularities and candidates should also be aware of the fact that no one can help them in getting recruited in the Army except themselves.

He also interacted with the candidates who turned up in large number to participate in the recruitment rally at CISF ground in Amber area located on the outskirts of the city. (With PTI inputs)

The only shortage is in te commissioned ranks. For non-commissioned members, the response is far beyond what the IA can absorb.

Indian army is too large anf bloated

It needs to be reduced to under 900000 men from 1.2,million.

Add force mutipliers like a full airborne divison and more ucav. More mobile artlliaty and attack helos with special.forces .

Stand off weapons are more vital.than huge manned army

India needs to reduce recruitment

In Pakistan written is taken first followed by physical and medical.

Intelligence test is not difficult but many of my friend despite being in medical school failed it.

Indian Army is facing issues recruiting only the officers, as qualified Youth's in India have various options to choose from. As far as the recruitment rally's are concerned, the very reason why the new strategy has been adopted is because of the overflow in candidature, which will be screened by exams before showing up for the rally, saving time for both the parties.
