Agniveer Age Limit
With the release of the Agneepath Scheme for hiring Agniveers in the Indian Army, Indian Air Force & Indian Navy, the most asked question among the candidates these days is “What is the Agniveer Age Limit?”. Earlier, the armed forces decided that the candidates falling in the age group of 17½ - 21 years were eligible to apply for Aginveer recruitment, which was later on revised to 17½ - 23 years. Granting a one-time waiver, the Union government declared that the Agniveer upper age limit for recruitments via the Agnipath Scheme has been extended to 23 years from 21 years. The MHA also decides to give 3 years of age relaxation beyond the prescribed upper age limit to Agniveers for recruiting in CAPFs & Assam Rifles.
