sir, i just want to confirm where he cleared his ssb interview, bcoz i was with him in banglore ssb on july 15. i was there for ssc(t)-39 interview,he attended 17 ssb.
I guess he has given many attempts in SSB before. Could you Please check that and let us know. It would be very helpful to the army aspirants like me.
Thank you.
Can any body else also give test for TA till the age for 40 yrs. And what are the minimum qualifications??
sir but TA is not a permanent commission not even short service so how he can be a regular officer???????????????????
Please mind, regular officer in TA, he has to go through 6 months training and after that he has to provide 2 months service each year.
