TGC-118 Notification Indian Army 2013
Recently joinindianarmy published the allotment center and dates of TGC-117, soon more list will be coming for all the SSB. For more info check the links below:
Now the big questions is, are IT, EEE and other few branches are eligible for TGC-117, which are/were eligible for SSC-40 and SSC-41 ? TGC-117 advertisement doesn’t notify any of these branches and this is the first time when TGC excluded branch like EEE etc. But, recently army included IT, EEE and few more branches in SSC-40 and SSC-11 including IT, EEE etc. We all know that SSC-tech and TGC are almost same so there is no point in keeping a different eligibility criteria.
Yet the picture is not clear but the call letter received by few candidates for SSB Bangalore clearly mentions that only notified branches are eligible, and nothing mentioned about equivalency certificate.
