British Gurkha Recruitment Policy

The British Gurkha Recruitment Policy allows citizens of Nepal to compete for positions in the British Army’s Gurkha regiments. It emphasizes fair, transparent selection processes based on merit, physical fitness, and suitability. Candidates undergo rigorous testing, including physical, medical, and aptitude assessments. Successful recruits become British Army personnel, adopting British military standards, while also maintaining their Nepali heritage. The policy aims to recognize the Gurkhas’ longstanding service and valor, ensuring they are recruited fairly while preserving their unique cultural identity within the British Army structure.
