TGC-118 Notification Indian Army 2013
Recently joinindianarmy published the allotment center and dates of TGC-117, soon more list will be coming for all the SSB. For more info check the links below:
Now the big questions is, are IT, EEE and other few branches are eligible for TGC-117, which are/were eligible for SSC-40 and SSC-41 ? TGC-117 advertisement doesn’t notify any of these branches and this is the first time when TGC excluded branch like EEE etc. But, recently army included IT, EEE and few more branches in SSC-40 and SSC-11 including IT, EEE etc. We all know that SSC-tech and TGC are almost same so there is no point in keeping a different eligibility criteria.
Yet the picture is not clear but the call letter received by few candidates for SSB Bangalore clearly mentions that only notified branches are eligible, and nothing mentioned about equivalency certificate.

SUBJECT: Removal of Cut-off Criteria (read in full)
Dear Friends,
I think the criteria of B.tech. percentage cut-off to select the aspirants to appear before SSB is not right.
The need to remove this cut-off criteria ( or to introduce a common test) is of Supreme Importance to us.
I appeal to all my friends to take this matter on high priority as IF NOT NOW, NEXT CHANCE WILL NEVER COME.
we can do following things:
1. Humbly request Recruiting Directorate by informing them about our concerns and zeal and josh to join Indian Army.
2. In gentlemen way, we can further appeal to Defense Ministry to look into the matter ( as it a matter of thousands of genuine candidates aspiring to join Indian Defense Forces).
3. We can also move the Supreme Court to suggest the introduction of common entrance exam for this.
We can discuss further our action plan regarding this. My email id is ravenredstar@gmail.com
Expecting thoughtful and quick reply from you all.
Thanks.
Respected Sir,
Please look into the account of the genuine candidates who applied for the TGC-117 entry with all zeal and Josh to join Indian Army, but could not appear before SSB just because of the cut-off of 63% till 6th semester.
Sir, Indian Defense Forces are the only organisations which recruit free and fairly without any partiality.
( Every university has different judging and marking criteria, so a common entrance test like AFCAT may be introduced for technical entries).
Please remove the cut-off and allow all the candidates of appear before SSB.
Please take this matter on priority sir. Its a humble request of many many genuine candidates desirous of joining Indian Army.
Expecting positive.
