AURANGABAD: About 60,000 youths across nine districts in the region are competing for 1,000 posts in Indian army for which a mega recruitment drive began on July 22. The candidates have to clear various checks, including physical and medical tests.
On an average, about 8,000 candidates from nine districts including Aurangabad, Jalna, Hingoli, Nanded, Nadurbar, Jalgaon, Parbhani, Buldhana and Dhule are appearing in the various rounds of the recruitment process every day. The army began its annual recruitment drive at divisional sport complex in Garkheda.
"There has been an overwhelming response to the recruitment drive. We are witnessing large number of youths every day," said Colonel Sameer Choudhary, the recruitment officer, adding that there is only one centre for all these districts.
Candidates aged between 17.5 years and 23 years are eligible to participate in the drive. "However, we have about 1,000 vacancies to be filled during the drive. With the number of youths participating, we are expecting about 60,000 candidates to appear during the 15-day drive. It seems that there will be tough competition," he said.
Army officials said it takes at least two days to complete the physical and medical test of each candidate. Those who clear these two tests have to appear for written examination. The final result of the testes will be declared in October and the selected candidates will join the army in December 2015.
"Although, the army is now conducting open recruitment drive in Aurangabad, very soon an online recruitment system will be put in place. Army is already implementing it in some locations. The new system will shortlist the candidates online and we will call a select lot for the next round. It will also reduce burden on the local authorities as the number of applicants will reduce significantly," he said.
