Are you an engineering graduate, are you interested in Indian army and want to join some technical field in India army. If yes, then you must be very careful with this dream of yours. Indian army is going very strict on technical entries like TGC and SSC-tech. They are reducing technical entry vacancies with time, also they are keeping some cut off for these entries, both for men and women.
The old victims of this change are IT branch candidates, they have been isolated from technical entries since TGC-115, now not only IT branch, but many other renowned branches have been removed from recent technical entry TGC-117. Lets see the change in vacancies by your self.
Vacancies Notified in TGC-116th :
All these branches were eligible in TGC-116th, you can find most of the know branches and sub branches. The red strike through lines are few branches which are not notified in TGC-117th notification.
Army is very clear with this, they are considering only mentioned branches and not self assumed things by candidates.
Vacancies Notified in TGC-117th:
Well, compare the text in both images, can you see the differences. Yes, it clearly shows the difference in vacancies and eligible engineering branches.
Cut off for TGC-117th is still unknown but with the recent update in SSC-40th tech cut off , it is clear that TGC-117th will also follow some cut off and probably same like SSC-40th tech.
List of Branches not eligible for TGC-117th [ *Might not be correct ]
Electrical and Electronics [EEE]
Automobile engineering/ Workshop Technology
Metallurgical/ Metellurgy and Explosives
Rubber Technology/ Plastic Technology/ Textile
Micro electronics and microwave/ Opto Electronics
*Newly Added Branch
Bio- Tech/Food Tech/ Bio-Medical Engg/ Chemical Engg.
Recently Indian army has done something surprising by removing some branches form SSC-10th tech women, those branches were well notified in the advertisement, in fact many female candidates were recommend from those branches and later noticed as ineligible for that particular course.
Joinindianarmy.nic.in published the list of 2853 female candidates those who are eligible for SSC-11th Tech SSB interviews. This course is going to commence in April 2013 in OTA, Chennai. This is a technical entry for femail engineering graduates. SSB interviews are going to be held from Dec 2012 onward. SSB interview dates are getting updated by Indian army.
AFCAT 02/2012 results still remains as a mystery, but won’t be for so long. IAF is going to publish correct and actual results soon. IAF stated, the delay was due to technical fault which sent some auto generated e-mails to few candidates to attend AFSB interview. IAF says, few aspirants those who were fail in AFCAT 02/2012, also got the mail for AFSB interviews, by mistake.
Just a while ago, AFCAT cell sent a mail to all asiprants, which is some thing like this.
“Dear Candidate, Please refer results of AFCAT 02/2012 which has been held in abeyance due to technical issues and e-mails which had been auto generated to some of you. The IAF deeply regrets the inconvenience caused to you due to circumstances beyond its control and is making every effort to ensure that correct results are uploaded as early as possible. Please ignore all correspondence on the subject so far and kindly await the uploading of results in a few days time on our website ‘www.careerairforce.nic.in‘. With regards, AFCAT Cell“
Conclusion:
A part of aspirants may loose their chance with the new list.
Discrepancy happened in AFCAT 02/2012 results is untenable. It caused lot of discomfort to IAF aspirants.
How will IAF give some real assurance about fresh results. It questions the whole process of AFCAT.
Will they use more fool proof method next time? How about OMR sheets ? Hope for less cumbersome process next time.
2nd October, 2012 was as usual a very normal day for me till 1400 hours. I reached Bhopal Junction at 1400 hours and was astonished by seeing a huge crowd, around 500 candidates, all having the same dream: TO BE RECOMMENDED. Although I was not a fresher this time, I have given SSB for TGC entry only two times earlier at Allahabad and I was use to witness huge crowd.
So the Day 0 begins with proceeding to centre. No bed was available for me at selection centre because all beds were occupied by candidates who reached centre before time just to reserve their bed, and hence I was forced to sleep on ground. After keeping our belongings, we were moved to testing hall where documentation was being held. Around 20 candidates were returned the same day because of their ineligibility with respect to course’s advertisement.
Any how the Day 0 passed and now comes the Day-1. At 0600 hours, we were divided into groups and made to appear on intelligence test. It was not that hard and I completed almost all within time. Then in PPDT, the picture shown was that of 2 ladies, one crying and other old lady consoling her. After writing stories, our group was moved inside a hall. We were 16 and we narrated our stories quite well. Some gentlemen made very surprising stories. But anyhow discussion part was over and to my surprise group nominated me for the common group story. I gave the story and went for lunch. At 1600 hours, result was announced and I along with 49 more candidates were in. 50 got screened-in. Next step was very surprising for all of us, the board officials confiscated our cell phones. After that we were provided with our new chest numbers, mine was 31.
The Day 2 begins with photography sessions and immediate after that we had our Psychology test. This time I made very simple stories. For the blank story, I wrote my life’s story up till now only. WAT words were very easy and I attempted all 60. In SRT, I did 56 situations and I did my SD quite well. There is a fair advice to all my colleagues and aspirants, don’t write anything after the psychologist says, “GENTLEMEN, PENS DOWN”. In SSB, quantity never matters, it is the quality that matters. I was having interview on the same day, hence I groomed myself and reached interview venue. My interview officer was Captain Joseph (Naval Board). I entered the room and he pointed that I was suppose to pull the door, but I pushed it. I said sorry and he indicates me to sit. He asked my day to day routine and educational background, I answered them all. Then he asked me few general knowledge questions, which i couldn’t answer, but I said, “Sir, I will get back to you”. He repeated the same questions in conference also; thank god I prepared them and could answer it correctly. He asked me about my weakness and few technical questions, I answered him smartly. My interview lasts for 40 minutes.
Then comes the very exciting Day 3 and Day 4, the GTO day. Our group’s GTO was Lt. Commander Sumeet Shrivastav (naval pilot of Dornier aircraft). What a pleasant personality he was having. GTO starts with GD and we all did very well in our GD. GTO was impressed and he gave GPE according to that. GPE was easy but group solution was not agreeable to our GTO. He made a few modifications and disperses our group for PGT. In PGT, we could complete only first two obstacles, the third one was a bit tricky, what I felt. The GTO scolded us so badly and gave our group a name, “NO BRAIN PEOPLE”. He didn’t let us complete next obstacle and we were moved to GOR ground. This task is always a fun. Friends, in GOR GTO will never let anyone win or lose, just help your team members, show co-operation. In my group, one guy’s weight was around 100 kg. He was not able to climb 7ft wall. I helped him to climb and GTO noted that. IN HGT, easy obstacle was placed. Your HGT obstacle is directly proportional to PGT performance. Last task of that day was Lecturette, my fear factor.
Friends, chose the simplest topic as topic doesn’t matters and present it in a very lucid manner. Try to speak for at least 2 mins. Now the next day of GTO begins with IO. I really love this task. I completed 9 out of 10. Friends, some of you might have height phobia, but on tiger leap, commando walk and double ditch, don’t hesitate for a second over the obstacle. In case you fall, sand is there on ground to protect you from external injury. Just jump. In Command Task, try to be subordinate atleast once. Be friendly with the group. When you are the commander, make your subordinates understands the plan quite well and then move ahead. If GTO is scolding you, it means he is really interested in you. Show him yours leadership skills. Last task of SSB is FGT which I don’t think plays even a minute role as our GTO has closed his copy of records at FGT. Next day was conference and to my surprise, seven of we 50 were recommended, out of which 3 were from our group.
GTO is the sharpest key in whole SSB. Never try to fool him. Show him your qualities, help and cheer your team members.
You never know who is keeping a strict vigil over you, so follow all instructions and rules strictly.
Update your current affairs and have adequate knowledge of yourself.
Give natural responses to any problem don’t try to be a superhuman.
At last, ALL THE BEST TO EVERYONE WHO READS THIS ARTICLE. GOOD DAY.

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“
