Recently Indian army has done some changes in the eligibility criteria for technical entries like TGC and SSC-tech. Though these changes are not declared openly anywhere, but you can see these changes in the call up letter received for SSC-40 technical.
Branches included for Indian army Technical Entries:
- Information technology: IT was excluded from tech entries long back, lot of candidates have had suffered from this decision of Indian army, only because army considered CS for technical entries but not IT. IT branch is equivalent to Computer science, this is considered by Indian army now which makes them eligible for technical entries.
- Electrical and Electronics: EEE students were exclude from TGC-117 onward though they are eligible for SSC-40 tech because EEE is notified in the SSC-40 tech notification. But now army is considering EEE as equivalent to Electrical Engineering, this makes them eligible for TGC-117.
- Instrumentation and Control: This branch is considered equivalent to Electronics and Instrumentation.
- Other Branches: If your branch is not included but the other equivalent branch is notified, you can go with equivalency certificate of your stream to the notified stream from the AICTE. This will make you eligible.
All the above is mentioned in the common call letter by SSB Bhopal, but candidates are suggested to check this from army headquarter before assuming any thing.
