💬 Let’s Discuss:

Can I apply for Agniveer GD if I have only 33% in one subject but 45% overall?
Can I apply for more than one Agniveer post?
Can a student from the Biology stream apply for Agniveer Technical?

a month later

In Agniveer Technical, if I had Biology instead of Math in 12th Science, can I still apply?

    kajal_123 For Agniveer Technical (Army, Navy, Air Force), the eligibility is very clear :
    12th Science with Physics & Mathematics as compulsory subjects + one subject out of Chemistry/Computer Science/Biology. That means Maths is compulsory. If you had Biology instead of Maths, then unfortunately you are not eligible for Agniveer Technical.
