Well, I think this will result in a large increase in modernisation and effectiveness.
Previously the Indian Army was stuck with whoever was initially selected for 15 years.
Now they only get the top 25% of each cohort.

These calls are getting quite tedious now. Xi must be bored out of his mind talking with Biden about the same stuff (begging for help, US economy going down, demented speech, bravado etc.) every 2 months
Don't we all know the script already? Here, copy paste the Ministry of Foreign Affairs press release from the previous call, should be exactly the same this time around
Yawn
Probably the only new thing would be Biden trying to make Xi give away something in order for Biden to save face for dropping some tarrifs. Thats it.
Two months later, the next call will also be of the same nature.

The problem is there is no incentive to enroll. You may only get 25% of each cohort but overall recruitment numbers will drop. What civil skills will they have after 4 years? I don’t see any secondary education being offered to them either.
The thing with the US is that in case of emergency they can devise some "Oil & Food Freedom Act" and ban exports to stabilize the prices cuz they are majorly self-sufficient in energy and food, they can even harvest uranium from their vassals down under. Europe is a huge energy and resource importer, meaning that its economy will be taking a triple whammy of commodity spikes, inflation (also affected by commodities), and a looming financial crisis.
I suspect spots will still be highly competitive due to the lack of other options

Depends on the level of corruption and accountability in the Indian government. I can foresee Indians bribing officials for a secure position in the military because employment is so hard to find.
So it’s like 10,000 new soldiers per year. Is that even sustainable?
Seems like the retirement age is like 42-52 or like 45 for simplicity sake and crappy math. Let’s say all the recruits are 18 year olds then doesn’t that mean that at most there about 270k soldiers and 150k meat shields at any given time?
Another one of "shoot yourself in the face" move with 8.5% inflation and rising. (I was going to use another part of the anatomy closer to the foot, but decided to maintain the professional image of SDF).
Mean while, the US stock market gives back all the gain yesterday and more.

And China has stated multiple times that at the heart of the conflict, some kind of actual talk/negotiations have to happen between the Russia and the US (leader of NATO).
China simply can't do something like brokering peace between Russia and Ukraine without the involvement of the US, and the US and Russia will need to end up at some kind of deal.
