Hyderabad, November 2026 — The Indian Army will organise a recruitment rally for the enrolment of Agniveers from November 13 to 24, 2026, at the GMC Balayogi Athletic Stadium in Gachibowli, Hyderabad (Rangareddy district). The 12-day drive is open to eligible candidates from all 33 districts of Telangana for the 2027 recruiting year under the Agnipath scheme.
The rally will screen shortlisted candidates (those who have received admit cards after the earlier online Common Entrance Examination) in four categories: Agniveer General Duty, Agniveer Technical, Agniveer Tradesman (10th pass), and Agniveer Tradesman (8th pass). Candidates must report to the venue on their designated dates and times with all original documents and certificates as specified in the official recruitment notification, along with the required photocopies.
Army authorities have emphasised that the recruitment process is fully automated, fair, transparent, and merit-based. Agents, intermediaries, or touts have no role in the selection process. Candidates have been cautioned against fraudsters who promise selection or enrolment in exchange for money and are advised not to be lured by such individuals or agencies.
