With the latest notification of CDS 1 2016 Indian army has proved once again that they do not lack officers or maybe there is not much work in Indian army which women can do. This is quite contradictory to the Nari Shakti thingy happened on republic day few months back. Not only women, India army has reduced seats for men also, let’s see what is going on.
According to CDS 1 2016 notification, women seats are decreased from 11 to 5. So, as per the official notification total number of seats for women candidates every year through CDS exam is 10 because CDS exam is conducted twice every year. Just 10 seats every year !!!
No seats for women officers in Indian Army
There are so many deserving women candidates and they will fight for just 10 seats, which is quite funny because Indian army says they have a shortage of officers.
Let us assume that Indian army don’t want women officers and they have a shortage of men officers, but this is not the case, Indian army has reduced the vacancies through TGC and SSC technical entries. Indian army has increased the percentage cut off and removed many well-known engineering branches. Unlike earlier, Indian army is not considering branch equivalency which means If you are an “Electrical and Electronics” student you can not apply for TGC because only “Electrical” branch is eligible. Very funny.
No Seats for Engineers in Indian Army
In TGC 122 there were 20 – 30 different engineering stream eligible earlier, but in TGC 123 only 12 engineering branch are eligible and candidates other than these engineering branches are not eligible for TGC 123. Also, Indian army will not accept any branch equivalency as mentioned in the notification.
Earlier many candidates use to apply for TGC from different streams which get Indian army quality officers from a huge pool of candidates. But now only few engineering streams and most of these engineering streams are not available in private engineering colleges. So now candidates from IIT, NIT and other big colleges will join the Army. If you understand what we are trying to say!
Indian army is on the same track again, isn’t it the Delhi high court order in 2012 to fix the parity in engineering/technical degrees in India. The Center was asked by the Delhi High Court to set up a panel of experts who will be responsible for examine UGC recognized engineering degrees in various streams and decide an equality among them to facilitate Indian army aspirants.
