A special open Army recruitment rally was conducted on Thursday at the Pangode Parade ground here. More than 500 candidates participated in the rally for recruitment into trades of Soldier Technical and Nursing Assistant, a press release issued by the Ministry of Defence said.
This is the fourth rally being conducted for the candidates of the State during the year 2007-08. The candidates were initially put through a physical fitness test in which they were made to run one mile, do pull ups, jump across a nine-feet ditch and walk across a horizontal zig-zag bar.
Their height, weight and chest were measured, followed by medical examination. Successful candidates would undergo a written examination and those who make it would be enrolled in the Army.
He said 100 per cent success rate was achieved in the Soldier Technical category recruitment during the common entrance examination held at Thiruvananthapuram last month. Another recruitment rally is planned at Idukki from April 1 to 6 this year.
