SHILLONG, June 30: Headquarter Recruiting Zone (North East States) and its Army Recruiting Offices are once again recruiting eligible youth from the seven North Eastern States into the Indian Army. In the months of July and August 2014, four recruitment rallies are planned.  The rallies will be held at Dibrugarh, Assam from July 4 to 14, 2014 for Jorhat, Tinsukhia, Sibsagar, Dhemaji, North Lakhimpur, Dibrugarh, Golaghat and Karbi Anglong districts of Upper Assam; at Masimpur, Assam from July 21 to 28, 2014, for Cachar, Karimgang, Hailakandi and North Cachar Hills districts of Assam and Tripura.
The third recruitment rally will be held at Nalbari, Assam from August 4 to 13, 2014 for Darrang, Nalbari, Goalpara, Dhubri, Kokrajhar, Bongaigaon and Kamrup Metropolitan districts of Lower Assam. The fourth rally will be held at Shillong, Meghalaya from August 22 to 31, 2014. Assistance will be provided at all Army Recruitment offices namely - Shillong 0364-2506581, Silchar 0362-260978, Jorhat 0376-2333136 and Narangi 0361-2640134.

Headquarter Recruiting Zone (North East States) and its Army Recruiting Offices have engaged the state governments of the seven north east states to improve the numbers being recruited, especially in the technical categories, train candidates and give incentives for commissioning of officers in the Indian Army. Detailed coordination is being carried out with the states and district administrations to ensure smooth conduct of these rallies with minimum or no disturbance to the local population. Candidates are advised to prepare for the rallies physically and especially for the written exams. All written exams are objective type with 25 percent negative marking, so passing the written exams has become more difficult. A large number of vacancies in the Soldier Technical, Clerks, Havildar Education and Junior Commissioned Officer Religious Teachers are not filled as candidates do not pass the written exam. Two recruitment rallies have already been held at Aizawl for Mizoram in April 2014 and at Leimakhong for Manipur and Nagaland in May 2014.
Recruitment in the Indian Army is free, open and transparent. There are no applications required. No MONEY is required to be paid for any forms or participation. Recruitment process is fully computerized with multiple levels of independent external supervision. Written exams are conducted on bar coded Optical Mark Reader sheets with total secrecy of candidates and no one can influence the results. Anyone who claims that he can get anyone recruited is making a false claim as every candidate will get recruited on his own effort and merit.
