Amid widespread protests, the Union government on Thursday increased the upper age limit to 23 from 21 for recruitment under the Agnipath scheme for the year 2022.
“Cognisant of the fact that it has not been possible to undertake recruitment during the last two years, the government has decided that a one-time waiver shall be granted for the proposed recruitment cycle for 2022,” a Defence Ministry spokesperson said.
The spokesperson said the upper age limit for the recruitment process under the Agnipath scheme for 2022 had been increased to 23.
