India, July 22 -- As the first batch of Agniveers prepares to complete its four-year tenure later this year, the Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) has decided to expand its post-service employment opportunities.

The Ministry has informed the Parliament that retired Agniveers will be entitled to 50% reservation in the recruitment to constable (General Duty) and rifleman posts in the Central Armed Police Forces (CAPFs) and Assam Rifles. The retired Agniveers will be exempted from the written examination, the Physical Standards Test (PST), and the Physical Efficiency Test (PET). They will also receive a three-year relaxation in the upper age limit, while candidates from the first batch will be eligible for a five-year age relaxation.
