NOW APPLY ONLINE FOR RECRUITMENT IN INDIAN ARMY, OPEN RECRUITMENT STOPPED

Ludhiana, Those interested in joining the Indian army would now have to apply online instead of participating in open recruitment. It means that now the interested youth would not have to visit different places for applying for recruitment into Army. Once a person applies, the army would then contact him and would intimate him about the place and date where his test would be conducted. This would help in saving a lot of time and no person would be able to dupe the innocent youth on the pretext of getting them recruited.
This was informed by Lt Gen R N Nair, Director General Recruiting, during the start of open recruitment at Dholewal Army Recruitment Camp, here. He informed that the online application process has been formally started by the army from July 1 onwards and all interested youth can apply at www.joinindianarmy.nic.in. He informed that this website would remain operational 24X7 and any person can apply anytime. He said that once someone applies online, the recruitment cell of army would process the application and intimate the applicant about the place and date where he can come for test.
He informed that for the direct recruitment of officers into army, North India’s first Selection Centre has been inaugurated at Kapurthala. Lt Gen Nair said that the Selection Centre will have two Service Selection Boards for the selection of candidates to become officers in the Indian Army, Navy and Air Force. The selection centre at Kapurthala has been set up on temporary basis and it would come up at Ropar permanently. Three such selection centres are already running in the country- at Allahabad, Bhopal and Bengaluru.
