The Indian Army will hold a recruitment rally for Agniveer enrolment at the GMC Balayogi Athletic Stadium in Gachibowli, Hyderabad, from November 13 to 24, 2026, opening a 12-day selection drive for eligible candidates from all 33 districts of Telangana. The rally is being conducted for the 2027 recruiting year under the Agnipath scheme.
The screening will be limited to shortlisted candidates who have already cleared the earlier online Common Entrance Examination and received admit cards. The rally will cover four Agniveer categories: General Duty, Technical, Tradesman (10th pass) and Tradesman (8th pass).
Candidates have been instructed to report on the date and time mentioned in their admit cards and to bring all original documents and certificates listed in the official recruitment notification, along with the required photocopies. Army authorities have said the process is fully automated, fair, transparent and merit-based, with no role for agents, intermediaries or touts.
The Army has also warned aspirants against fraudsters who may claim they can secure selection or enrolment in return for money. Candidates have been advised not to trust such individuals or agencies and to depend only on official information sources.
