Developments: 2. In late July 2026, India’s Ministry of Home Affairs announced a policy to reserve half of the recruitment posts in the Central Armed Police Forces (CAPF) and the Assam Rifles for former Agniveers—soldiers who had completed the four‑year Agnipath scheme. The announcement included age‑limit relaxations (five‑year extension for the first batch, three‑year for later batches) and exemption from the Physical Efficiency Test, aiming to provide stable employment for the scheme’s graduates and to bolster force personnel. A week later, the Ministry formalised the rule for the Sashastra Seema Bal (SSB) through Gazette notifications. The 2026 SSB Constable recruitment rules set 54,109 posts, with 50 % reserved exclusively for ex‑Agniveers. These candidates are also exempted from the written examination, Physical Standard Test, and Physical Efficiency Test, and receive the same age‑relaxation benefits. The remaining half of the posts will be filled through an open competitive exam, and successful recruits will receive Level‑3 salaries ranging from ₹21,700 to ₹69,100 per month. ## Timeline ### 2026-07-28: Sashastra Seema Bal reserves 50% of constable posts for ex‑Agniveers India's Home Ministry announced SSB constable recruitment rules 2026, reserving 50% of 54,109 posts for ex‑Agniveers with age relaxations and exemption from written and physical tests. 2 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/sashastra-seema-bal-reserves-50-of-constable-posts-for-exagniveers ### 2026-07-22: India grants 50% job reservation to ex‑Agniveers in central armed forces India's Home Ministry reserves 50 % of CAPF and Assam Rifles jobs for ex‑Agniveers, adds age‑limit extensions and waives physical tests. 4 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/india-grants-50-job-reservation-to-exagniveers-in-central-armed-forces --- Cite as: India ex‑Agniveer job reservations.
