Congratulation to the candidates those who have made it in the list of eligible candidates for SSC-40th tech for men. This course is going to commence in April 2013, SSB interviews for SSC-40th tech is going to start in Jan 2013. Candidates those who are eligible, need to have deceleration form required for SSC-40th tech SSB interview.
This time army has kept 63% cut off till 6th semester for all applicant. So, many candidates might loose chance to attend ssb interviews for SSC-40th tech men.
Eligible candidates are required to sign the decelaration form which declares that they have cumulatively obtained 63% marks up to 6th semester in BE/B Tech degree course which is minimum cut off % for appearing before SSB.
Format of application:
MINIMUM CUT OFF PERCENTAGE FOR
APPEARING BEFOR SSB IS 63%
DECLARATION
I, …………………………………………………..Roll No. ………………………. a candidate for SSC(C)-40 course hereby declare that I have cumulatively obtained 63% marks up to 6th semester in BE/B Tech degree course
which is minimum cut off % for appearing before SSB.
I, further undertake that my candidature for SSC(T)-40 course shall be cancelled in case the above declaration is found to be false at any stage of selection.
Surprisingly, Indian army has kept, cut off percentage this time for technical entries like TGC and SSC-tech. Both entries are form Indian army for technical graduates ( B.E. and B.tech). TGC and SSC-tech notification comes twice every year for IMA and OTA respectively.
This time army has kept some cut off percentage for SSC-40th tech, which is 63% till 6th semester. Candidates with 63% aggregate till 6th semester is eligible for SSC-40th tech. Army is not considering overall percentage this time.
This is shocking for some candidates those who have more than 70% overall, but they do not have 63% till 6th semester. This happened earlier also when army has kept 75% and 66% cut off for SSC-10th tech Women and SSC-39th tech Men respectively. But later from few appeals and mails from disturbed candidates, army had removed the cut off and issued the call letters to all candidates, those who have applied.
Reason for implementing cut off in tech entries !
To avoid huge crowd during SSB interview for technical entries.
Change in vacancies.
Raising standard of tech entries.
Tech entries are like a free ticket for SSB interview, which brings huge crowed during interviews. Also the level of tech entries and the way SSB board handles it is going down. Allahabad is allotted with 10,000+ candidates in SSC-40th tech entry, apparently they call around 800-1000 candidates in one batch and takes 50-80 candidates in for five days.
This shows the condition of SSB boards and the way army handling these entries. All this force them to put some benchmark and increase the standard of technical entries.
Why 63% till 6th Semester?
Though many candidates with more than 63% overall, are not able to find their name in the list. This clears that army has taken aggregate percentage till 6th semester that is 63% till 6th semester. Candidates with less than 63% till 6th semester may not be eligible, irrespective to total %.
The only possible reason can be, removing the percentage of final year which fetch good % in practical and internships. So overall real % is considered till 6th semester, with this rule nearly 15-20% candidates may loose their chance, even though they have more than 63% overall.
What about TGC-117 cut off ?
Yes, there is no much difference in SSC(T) and TGC, if army is carrying same cut off rule for SSC-40th tech, then TGC-117th also have the cut off system.
It was mentioned in SSC-40th Tech Notification “Shortlisted candidates will be detailed to undergo SSB interview from Jan 2013 onwards“
