Youths aspiring to be soldiers in the Indian Army will be psychologically evaluated from 2009 onwards, Brigadier J. M. Devadoss, Headquarters Recruiting Zone, Bangalore, said here on Thursday.
Interacting with journalists, he said the Defence Institute of Psychological Research was developing an examination procedure to help Army officials assess the temperament and mental profile of candidates during the recruitment process. Those aspiring for officer rank in the Indian Army already undergo such tests. The Brigadier warned youth against falling prey to the intrigues of deceitful middlemen who promise military jobs for money.
He said there was no room for malpractice or extraneous intervention in the recruitment process. Along with their photographs, the fingerprints of candidates are recorded and biometrically compared at every stage of the recruitment process to ensure that there is no impersonation. Despite such measures, youth in Kerala were still falling prey to touts.
