Indian Opinion Analysis
This is the first AOC civilian recruitment drive since 2022, when over 1,100 posts were filled. The 2,615 vacancies this time are more than double that number, reflecting a significant expansion in support staff for ordnance depots across India. The largest share, 1,799 Tradesman Mate posts, typically involve loading, unloading and store-keeping in ammunition and equipment depots. With no application dates fixed yet, candidates should watch the official portal aocrecruitment.gov.in for the schedule. The written exam is tentatively set for November 2026.
