The Army Recruitment Rally for Agniveers organised by Recruiting Office (Headquarters), Jaipur concluded at Zila Stadium, Sikar after being held from 1 October to 23 October 2026. Officials said the event, open to candidates from Sikar and Jaipur districts, recorded an attendance of over 90% of registered applicants.
Measures to ensure fairness and transparency
The rally included selection for the central category of Agniveer Clerk/Store Keeper Technical, for which eligibility was extended to candidates from all districts of Rajasthan. The recruiting office emphasised the deployment of several process safeguards during the rally:
- Drug screening conducted alongside Physical Fitness Tests to deter the use of performance‑enhancing substances.
- Stringent anti‑touting measures to protect candidates from exploitation by touts and unauthorised agents.
- Technology‑enabled recruitment systems, including the online Common Entrance Examination (CEE) and enhanced verification procedures, to increase transparency and accountability.
Headquarters Recruiting Zone, Jaipur, said these steps would help strengthen the credibility of the recruitment process and provide deserving candidates with a fair chance to join the Army. The recruiting authority also expressed appreciation to the civil administration of Sikar for providing administrative and logistical support that aided the efficient conduct of the rally.
Scope and participation
Officials highlighted the strong response from youth in Rajasthan, describing the turnout as reflecting patriotic motivation and a desire to serve. The inclusion of the central category posts meant the rally attracted applicants from across the state for administrative and logistics roles in the Agniveer intake.
