Agniveer Age Limit: Everything You Need to Know



Agniveer is a special recruitment scheme for the Indian Army, Air Force & Navy that has recently been introduced.

One of the most commonly asked questions by candidates is about the Agniveer age limit.

Earlier, the age limit was set at 17½ - 21 years, which was later revised to 17½ - 23 years, applicable only for the Agniveer 2022 batch.

Recently, the Union government announced a one-time waiver, extending the Agniveer upper age limit for recruitment to 23 years from 21 years.

In addition to this, the Ministry of Home Affairs has decided to grant 3 years of age relaxation beyond the prescribed upper age limit for Agniveer recruitment in CAPFs & Assam Rifles.

This means that candidates up to the age of 26 years can now apply for Agniveer recruitment in CAPFs & Assam Rifles.

It is important to note that the age limit criteria may vary depending on the specific recruitment advertisement released by the Indian Army, Air Force & Navy.

Candidates are advised to carefully read the eligibility criteria mentioned in the recruitment advertisement before applying.
