When the defense person retires, he is in that phase of life when he needs the job the most. According to a trend, nowadays soldiers in the Army, Navy and Airforce take retirement after 15 years of service. While only a few percent serve in the army for more than 20 years. When a soldier retires, his age is between 35 years and 45 years. That's why he needs a job.
As we told in our post that how much reservation does ESM get in civil government jobs. Now the competition for ESM in government jobs has increased a lot and the vacancies are also very less. The soldiers who retire early from the army, they already start preparing for Central Government Jobs two to three years before their retirement.
