MHA Announces 10 Percent Reservation In CISF For Ex-Agniveers

New Delhi: The Ministry of Home Affairs has announced a 10 percent reservation for ex-Agniveers in vacancies in Central Police Reserve Force.

Reportedly, the announcement was made via a notification after amending the rules made under the Central Industrial Security Force Act, 1968, (50 of 1968). The notification read, “Ten per cent of the vacancies shall be reserved for ex-Agniveers,”.

The upper age limit shall be relaxable up to five years for candidates of the first batch of former Agniveers and up to three years for candidates of other batches, the ministry said.

For the subsequent batches of ex-Agniveers, the upper age limit will be relaxable by up to three years, it said. “Ex-Agniveers will be exempted from physical efficiency test.”

Last week, the government amended the rules of the Border Security Force (BSF) and brought in similar changes.
