Indian Army, Air Force & Navy Agniveer Age Limit
Agniveer Age Limit: Since the Agneepath Program for employing Agniveers in the Indian Army, Indian Air Force, and Indian Navy was announced, “What Is Agniveer Age Limit?” has become the most often asked question among candidates. Prior to being changed to 1712 – 23 years, the armed forces initially ruled that applicants in the age range of 1712 – 21 years were eligible for Aginveer enlistment (applicable only for Agniveer 2024 batch).
Granting a one-time concession, the Union government decided that the Agniveer upper age restriction for recruitments via Agnipath Programme has been extended to 23 years from 21 years. The MHA also agrees to provide Agniveers a 3-year age relaxation over the permitted upper age limit for recruiting in CAPFs & Assam Rifles.
