During 2020-21, two recruitment rallies are planned in Andhra Pradesh and one rally in Telangana.
Recruiting Organisation conducts recruitment rallies for Indian Army with an endeavour to cover each district of the country, at least once in a year. The location of recruitment rally is decided from amongst the districts under jurisdiction of the Army Recruiting Office in consultation with the Civil Administration.
Since 18 July, 2015, the recruitment process has shifted from ‘Open Rally System’ to Online Registration by the candidates, wherein, applications are invited from candidates and then they are called in batches for further screening. Participants may apply online to register themselves to take part in recruitment rally and therefore, the location of rally does not have any material effect on numbers recruited from a particular location since all eligible candidates can apply online on the Recruiting Directorate Website (www.joinindianarmy.nic.in).
