The Indian Army has announced a major Agniveer recruitment rally in Mysuru, Karnataka, scheduled to take place from April 19 to April 27, 2024. This event is part of the ongoing efforts under the Agnipath scheme to recruit young individuals into the armed forces for a four-year service period.
Key Details and Eligibility Criteria
The recruitment rally will be held at the Mysuru University Grounds, with registration and document verification starting on April 19.

This recruitment drive in Mysuru is expected to attract thousands of aspirants, boosting local engagement and providing opportunities for youth in the region. Authorities have urged candidates to prepare necessary documents, such as Aadhaar cards, educational certificates, and recent photographs, to ensure smooth participation.
