"The Army has done away with recruitment rallies and begun recruiting internet literate soldiers through an onlineprocess. The new system came into force from November, said an Army circular.

Earlier, over 10,000 aspirants on an average would gather at recruitment rallies for 100 vacancies before the online system was put in place. Chaos at the rallies have led to several stam pedes as the Army was often unable to process so many applications at one go. The chaos forced the Army to do a rethink on the process.

Now, the Army would have a databank of candidates and would call them according to space and re sources available.

As many as 15,000 youth underwent physical tests as part of the new process in the third week of November. Many officers have called the move revolutionary".

Quality move
