The Indian Army has already run the Agniveer recruitment for Recruiting Year (RY) 2027. Online registration opened on 13 February 2026, the Common Entrance Examination (CEE) began on 1 June 2026, and the CEE result was declared on 12 July 2026. That form is closed and will not reopen.
A candidate who wants to apply in calendar year 2027 will be applying for the next cycle, Recruiting Year 2028. Going by the last two cycles, its notification would come around February 2027, but as of late October 2026 the Army has not announced it on joinindianarmy.nic.in.

Agniveer Bharti 2027 Overview
Agniveer Form 2027 Kab Aayega? Recruiting Year vs Calendar Year
Most of the confusion comes from the name. Agniveer cycles are named by the recruiting year in which selected candidates join, not the year the form opens. The RY 2027 form therefore opened in February 2026, a full year earlier.
In practice, a candidate who missed the April 2026 deadline has one route: the RY 2028 notification.

CEE Timing: 2025 vs 2026
The 2026 exam ran over a longer window but still delivered the result two weeks earlier in the calendar. Exam-day updates for the 2026 CEE are in our report on the Agniveer CEE 2026 start.
Agli Agniveer Bharti Kab Hogi: The RY 2028 Notification
The Army has not announced the next notification. The pattern is consistent, though: the RY 2027 form opened on 13 February 2026, and the 2025 and 2026 exams both fell in June or early July. If that holds, the RY 2028 form would open around February 2027 and the CEE would follow around June 2027.
CEE admit card and exam updates for the last cycle are on our Agniveer admit card 2026 report.
Agniveer Eligibility: Age Limit and Education by Category
Under the Agnipath scheme, the Army recruits candidates aged 17½ to 21 years, and the exact date-of-birth range is fixed in each notification. Education requirements differ by category.
The RY 2028 notification may revise any of these, so check it before applying.
Agniveer Salary and Seva Nidhi Package
Agniveers serve for four years. Each month, 30% of the pay package goes into the Seva Nidhi corpus, and the government adds an equal amount. At the end of four years, the corpus is about ₹10.04 lakh plus interest, and up to 25% of each batch can be selected for regular service.
