Millions of young aspirants waiting to join the Indian Army under the Agniveer scheme have been closely watching for the release of the application forms. Earlier updates had indicated that the registration for Agniveer 2026 would start on February 3, 2026. However, a recent change on the Indian Army’s official website (joinindianarmy.nic.in) suggests that the application process may now be delayed.
What the Website Says Now
Previously, the Indian Army website clearly mentioned February 3, 2026 as the start date for Agniveer applications. However, visiting the site now, the date is no longer displayed. Instead, the portal states:
“Applications for the online ‘General Entry Test’ for recruitment of Agniveers and Junior Commissioned Officers/Other Ranks for the recruitment year 2026 will commence soon.”
No further official update has been provided yet, and it remains unclear when the registration will actually open. Officials suggest that the online registration may begin later this month, but candidates are advised to regularly check the official Indian Army website for the latest notifications.
