Indian Army Don't Need Much Techies

Are you an engineering graduate, are you interested in Indian army and want to join some technical field in India army. If yes, then you must be very careful with this dream of yours. Indian army is going very strict on technical entries like TGC and SSC-tech. They are reducing technical entry vacancies with time, also they are keeping some cut off for these entries, both for men and women.

The old victims of this change are IT branch candidates, they have been isolated from technical entries since TGC-115, now not only IT branch, but many other renowned branches have been removed from recent technical entry TGC-117 . Lets see the change in vacancies by your self.

Vacancies Notified in TGC-116th :

All these branches were eligible in TGC-116th, you can find most of the know branches and sub branches. The ~~red strike through lines~~ are few branches which are not notified in TGC-117th notification.

Army is very clear with this, they are considering only mentioned branches and not self assumed things by candidates.

Vacancies Notified in TGC-117th:

Well, compare the text in both images, can you see the differences. Yes, it clearly shows the difference in vacancies and eligible engineering branches.

Cut off for TGC-117th is still unknown but with the recent update in SSC-40th tech cut off , it is clear that TGC-117th will also follow some cut off and probably same like SSC-40th tech.

List of Branches not eligible for TGC-117th [ *Might not be correct ]

Electrical and Electronics [EEE]
Automobile engineering/ Workshop Technology
Metallurgical/ Metellurgy and Explosives
Rubber Technology/ Plastic Technology/ Textile

Recently Indian army has done something surprising by removing some branches form SSC-10th tech women, those branches were well notified in the advertisement, in fact many female candidates were recommend from those branches and later noticed as ineligible for that particular course.
