Rly bonanza for Agniveers: Reservation in Level-1,2 non-gazetted posts
The country’s largest employer, Indian Railways, has decided to offer 10-per cent horizontal reservation in level 1 and a 5-per cent quota in level 2 and above non-gazetted posts to Agniveers against the direct recruitment quota, sources said on Thursday.
This will be in the nature of horizontal reservation as in the case of PwBD, ex-servicemen and CCAAs. The Agniveers will also be given an exemption from the physical efficiency test, the sources said.
They will be given age relaxations — five years for the first batch of Agniveers and three years for the subsequent batches — over and above the existing age limit prescribed for different communities for level-1, level-2 and above non-gazetted posts.
