Detailed Brief: Agnipath Scheme For Enrolment In Indian

Armed Forces

Agnipath is a new HR Management scheme for Armed Forces. Candidates inducted through this scheme will be called Agniveers.

Endeavour will be made to enrol candidates as Agniveers from all parts of the nation, utilising contemporary technology (online STAR exam and associated testing methods), specialized rallies and campus interviews at recognized technical institutes such as Industrial Training Institutes, NSQF etc. Agniveers would form a distinct rank in the IAF, different from any other existing rank.
