Army Recruitment Rally organized in Ferozepur, Candidates show determination
Around 25,000 candidates to appear in rally for recruitment from 3-13 Oct, 2015
Ferozepur, October 3,2015 : : Army authorities today organized Recruitment Rally at local Jyoti Stadium in Cantonment area.
This is the first time that online registration system is being used for the recruitment in army, said Brig. J S Samyal, Deputy Director, General Recruiting (Punjab and J&K) while addressing the media persons. The new system is likely to keep the touts away from the recruitment allurements, he added
About 25,000 candidates have registered themselves for appearing the recruitment rally from3-13October, 2015 and today around 3500 candidates from Ferozepur will try their hands to prove their determination to secure a job in the Indian Army, said Brig Samyal.
Brig. Samyal said that the candidates will be screened for their physical fitness, medical examination and documentation to check their eligibility to join the Indian Army and only the successful candidates will undergo the common entrance test on 18th October and 29th November for medical review fit candidates.
Inflexible measures are being adopted while screening of the documents and to prevent the usage of drugs among youths” said Brig. Samyal.
However, certain candidates were reportedly not entertained by army officials due to non-matching of their particulars with the online system.
The new system is very good but there is no one to guide the youngsters who really want to serve the nation but having no knowledge about the use of internet, said one of the candidate who could not appear in the rally.
Though this system is good but there is no one to guide those who want to serve their mother nation but have no knowledge about the internet”, said another candidate.
It is worth mentioning here that last year the military authorities had unearthed a fake certificate scam in which thirty eight youths who were selected as sepoys were found to have fudged their date of birth for recruitment in the army. These youths had cleared the screening test and physical fitness test during the recruitment rally held in Ferozepur in January 2014 and were ready for their training at various centres. All of them were however caught during the scrutiny of their testimonials when it was discovered that they had already cleared the matriculation exam conducted by the Punjab School Education Board but to conceal their date of birth and to clear the age criteria, they had submitted fake certificates issued by Allahabad based Hindi Sahitya Sammelan.
