Sashastra Seema Bal reserves 50% constable posts for ex-Agniveers, caste quota to apply
The Sashastra Seema Bal (SSB) has announced 50% reservation in constable recruitment for ex-Agniveers, with existing caste-based quotas for SC, ST, and OBC categories applicable. This marks a significant policy shift as regular Army recruitment does not include caste reservations. The move aligns with the government's Agnipath scheme's rehabilitation framework and will impact thousands of aspirants preparing for CAPF exams.
