Agniveer Army study guide
Agniveer Army · Work through your exam, one topic at a time.
The Agniveer Army Recruitment Examination is the entry-level selection process for candidates seeking to join the Indian Army as Agniveers - short-term enrolled soldiers under the Agnipath scheme. It is aimed at young candidates who have completed the required school-level education and who want a structured route into military service rather than a degree-based officer entry. The written stage is a computer-based test of multiple-choice questions across four areas: Mathematics, General Science, General Knowledge and Current Affairs, and Logical Reasoning. The standard is broadly Class 10 level, so the challenge is rarely the difficulty of any single question - it is the speed and accuracy demanded across a wide syllabus. The Agniveer Army study guide has 4 sections and about 1,013 words.
01Mathematics: Speed Through Formula Recall
Number system (divisibility rules, HCF/LCM, remainders), percentages, ratio and proportion, averages, profit and loss, simple and compound interest, time–speed–distance, time and work, mensuration of 2D and 3D figures, elementary algebra, and height-and-distance trigonometry. Army questions favour direct application of a formula, so marks come from instant recall rather than long derivation.
267 words, about 1 min02General Science: Units, Formulae and Biological Facts
Physics: units and measurement, motion, force and Newton's laws, work–power–energy, heat, light (reflection, refraction), sound, simple electricity and magnetism. Chemistry: atomic structure, periodic table basics, acids–bases–salts, metals and non-metals, common compounds and alloys.
236 words, about 1 min03General Knowledge and Current Affairs: Stable Facts Plus a Rolling Log
Polity: the Constitution, Preamble, Fundamental Rights and Duties, Directive Principles, President, Prime Minister, Parliament, Supreme Court and important amendments. Geography: rivers, mountains, soils, climate, states and capitals.
271 words, about 1 min04Logical Reasoning: Draw, Convert and Eliminate
Number and letter series, analogy, odd-one-out classification, coding–decoding, direction sense, blood relations, ranking and ordering, syllogism, linear and circular seating arrangement, clock and calendar problems, and non-verbal reasoning (mirror image, paper folding, embedded figures, figure series). Series: look for two rules running together.
