Prospective recruits were also sensitised that selection into the Indian Army is based strictly on merit and prescribed recruitment standards. Aspirants were encouraged to rely on their own ability, preparation, and determination, and to participate in recruitment rallies with zeal and unwavering commitment to serve the nation.
