TES 52 Cut Off Marks for Indian Army
The TES 52 cut-off marks have set a high standard for candidates aspiring to join the Indian Army through this prestigious entry route.
The Indian Army has released the cut-off marks for the Technical Entry Scheme (TES) 52. Candidates who have achieved a minimum of 60% in their PCM (Physics, Chemistry, Mathematics) cumulative score have been shortlisted for the SSB (Services Selection Board) Interview. Additionally, candidates must have a CRL (Common Rank List) rank above 200,000 to qualify for the shortlist. The SSB Interviews will take place at four locations: Prayagraj (Allahabad), Bangalore, Bhopal, and Jalandhar.
Overview of TES
The Technical Entry Scheme (TES) is a prestigious entry route for candidates who have completed their 10+2 education. Successful candidates of the TES entry are granted Permanent Commission in the Indian Army. The training duration for TES candidates is four years, and the TES 52 course is expected to commence in January 2025 with approximately 90 vacancies available.
Training of TES Candidates
The TES training program spans four years and is divided into two phases:
- Phase I: Integrated Basic Military Training and Engineering Training at one of the following institutions: College of Military Engineering (CME) in Pune, Military College of Telecommunication Engineering (MCTE) in Mhow, or Military College of Electronics and Mechanical Engineering (MCEME) in Secunderabad. This phase lasts for three years.
- Phase II: Integrated Basic Military Training and Engineering Training for one year at the Indian Military Academy (IMA) in Dehradun or another designated Pre Commission Training Academy (PCTA).
Upon successful completion of the four-year training program, candidates are awarded an Engineering degree. However, no ante date seniority is granted based on this degree.
Selection Procedure
The selection process for TES candidates involves a two-stage selection procedure at the SSB:
- Stage I: Candidates who pass Stage I will proceed to Stage II, while those who do not will be sent back on the same day.
- Stage II: Candidates who clear this stage will undergo a five-day interview process, followed by a medical examination.
Candidates who are recommended by the SSB and declared medically fit will receive a Joining Letter for training based on their merit and the availability of vacancies, provided they meet all eligibility criteria.
Tips for SSB Interview Preparation
Due to the high number of candidates appearing for SSB in technical entries, the competition is intense. To enhance your chances of success, especially in Stage I, aim to score 90% in the Officer Intelligence Rating (OIR) test and present an exceptional story with an outstanding narration. For Stage II, which includes Psychology, Group Testing Officer (GTO) tasks, and the Personal Interview, consistent practice using specially curated SSB workbooks can be beneficial. Daily practice will increase your chances of donning the olive greens.
Conclusion
The TES 52 cut-off marks have set a high standard for candidates aspiring to join the Indian Army through this prestigious entry route. With rigorous training and a stringent selection process, TES candidates can look forward to a rewarding career in the Indian Army, starting with their training in January 2025.
