Gujarat Police Recruitment: Ex-Agniveers to Get Exemption from Written Exam

Gandhinagar: Former Agniveers will be eligible for recruitment to selected posts in the Gujarat Police without appearing for the physical test and written examination, as part of the state government’s provisions for their induction into uniformed services.

Deputy Chief Minister Harsh Sanghavi announced the exemption from the written examination, adding to the earlier concessions provided to former Agniveers in physical tests and 3 – 5 years age limits.

Under the provisions announced earlier for former Agniveers, 20% of vacancies are reserved for them in designated police, jail and forest department posts. The first batch of former Agniveers will receive a five-year relaxation in the upper age limit.
