The registration process that began on June 24 had seen the filing of 94,281 applications in the first three days as per the Defence ministry. The bumper response to the scheme shows that protests failed to have any impact on the aspirants. Remember, several states witnessed violent protests after the scheme was unveiled on June 14.
