New Delhi: The Indian Air Force has received the highest number of applications under the new military recruitment programme, Agnipath, compared to the recruitment format that had been followed until now.

Agnipath allows a four-year tour of duty, after which 25 per cent personnel would be absorbed into the force based on their performance.

“Compared to 6,31,528 applications in the past, which was the highest in any recruitment cycle, this time 7,49,899 applications have been received,” the Indian Air Force, or IAF, tweeted after registrations ended.

Those between 17-and-a-half and 21 years old are eligible to become Agniveers.
