The Union Home Ministry has announced a major policy shift for ex-Agniveers, raising their reservation in Group C posts of the Central Armed Police Forces from 10% to 50%, starting with the Border Security Force. Ex-Agniveers are exempt from physical tests but must clear written exams, with a minimum qualification of Class 10 pass.
