Srinagar: The Army Recruiting Office (ARO) Jammu, under the aegis of HQ Recruiting Zone Jalandhar, organised an Indian Army career outreach programme at Government Degree College (GDC), Bhaderwah, on October 21 to familiarise students with career opportunities in the armed forces.
The programme attracted around 300 students, including National Cadet Corps (NCC) cadets, along with members of the college faculty. College Principal Prof. Basharat Iqbal presided over the session and appreciated the Army’s efforts to engage with young people across the Jammu Division.
The outreach programme aimed to help aspiring candidates understand the various routes to joining the Indian Army and pursuing a career in military service.
Recruitment officials explained the entry options available for the officers’ cadre, highlighting the eligibility requirements and opportunities for young people aspiring to take up leadership roles in the armed forces.
The session also covered NCC special entries, outlining opportunities for eligible cadets to join the Army. Special attention was given to women candidates, with officials discussing the expanding opportunities for women to serve in uniform and contribute to national defence.
During the interactive session, recruitment authorities stressed that the Indian Army’s selection process is transparent, merit-based and entirely free of charge. Students were cautioned against intermediaries and touts who might attempt to exploit aspiring candidates by promising recruitment in exchange for money.
The recruitment team advised the participants: "Stay alert and don't let scammers exploit your dream of donning the uniform. Rely only on your hard work and official channels."
Aspirants were also urged to use the Army’s official recruitment website, [www.joinindianarmy.nic.in] (http://www.joinindianarmy.nic.in), for registration, recruitment notifications and other updates.
