The Agnipath scheme has been tweaked by the Army to increase the criteria for Agniveers’ eligibility. Although the Agnipath programme seeks to hire talented Agniveers for technical branches, it will now be open to pre-skilled youngsters and ITI/Polytechnic graduates in the technical category.
The amendment will offer skilled candidates and those with vocational training extra emphasis in order to shorten the length of training.
Creteria for Agnipath Scheme enrolment
Those who have completed 10th grade may apply to be hired as an Agniveer, per the notification made public on February 16. (general duty in all arms). Applicants for the technical positions in all arms must have completed their 12th grade.
Candidates for the position of an Agniveer clerk must have completed their Class 12 curriculum with at least 60 percent of the required grades. Applicants for the Agniveer Tradesman positions must have completed at least Class 8.
Following changes to the recruitment guidelines, individuals with ITI-Polytechnic degrees are now eligible to apply to the army’s technical branch.
The changes are expected to rise the scope and applicant pool for the programme.
About Agnipath Scheme
The scheme was launched last year with the goal of recruiting soldiers into the three military services below the rank of commissioned officers. All recruits will be hired only for a four-year period.
Widespread protests against the program’s introduction took place across the nation, with protesters setting fire to trains and staging sit-ins.
