New Delhi, 17/3: The ministry of home affairs (MHA) has reserved 10 per cent of vacancies for former ‘agniveers’ in the Central Industrial Security Force (CISF), days after earmarking a similar quota in Border Security Force (BSF) in a move that will give the new crop of military personnel job opportunities after being out of the forces.
A gazette notification amending the recruitment rules issued by the MHA on Thursday said, “10 per cent of the vacancies shall be reserved for ex-Agniveers.”
The upper age limit would be relaxable to up to five years for candidates of the first batch of ex-agniveers while the limit would be relaxable to up to three years for candidates of other batches. Former agniveers will also be exempted from the physical efficiency test, it said.
