Indian Army Agniveer Important Dates and Practice Questions

Two phases. Phase I is the online CEE. Phase II is a rally run by your Army Recruiting Office for those shortlisted, covering the Physical Fitness Test, physical measurement, an adaptability test and a medical examination. Each ARO covers certain districts, so you apply through the office that serves your home district. Goa and five Maharashtra districts, for instance, come under the ARO at Kolhapur, and Nagaland and Manipur under Rangapahar.

The Army's own pay table is on the portal. The scheme terms the Air Force prints for its own Agniveers are a package of ₹30,000 a month in year one rising to ₹40,000 in year four, 70% in hand, and about ₹10.04 lakh as the Seva Nidhi package at exit. There is no pension.

Apply on the Join Indian Army portal under your ARO's notification, with your Aadhaar and the qualification for your category. Registration is behind a captcha on the portal. The fee in the notification we checked was ₹250.
