For attending the rally, candidates need to register online on the website joinindianarmy.nic.in.

Warning against agents
The Army has warned candidates not to fall prey to agents who promise easy entry into the army.
“It is once again reiterated that the entry into Indian Army is totally free and there are no agents. Entry is totally on merit and no one can influence the selection system which is conducted by teams from outside the State. Candidates are advised not to pay money to any agent, institute or organisation even if he claims to be an ex-Army man with contacts in the recruiting office,” a statement said.
Candidates also have been asked to report such persons to the police or the ARO.
