Recently I was recommended for IMA 135 course and completed my Medicals. This is brief information about the experience. I was called to report on 14th March 2013 at Allahabad at 1 pm. I reached there in morning and then got a dormitory at Allahabad Station itself.
This was my 8th Attempt so it was a bit of regular thing for me. Then I reached the MCO office and we were all received by the Army Person. After reaching the centre, we were allocated chest numbers. As I had appeared from 18 and 14 SSB before, I got 18 SSB. My Chest number there was 3. On the next day we had OIR and PPDT. The discussion was nice and as ours was a repeaters batch, we all did cooperate. Few friends started my deciding to go ahead with my story.

Then after discussion, our result was announced. And from 47people 22 were screened in. As very less people had reported, we had only 22 screened in. 5 more from 14 SSB joined us and we were 27. Then After new chest number allotment, my chest no. was 11. We had 2 groups of repeaters and a batch of freshers.
Then on Next day we finished our remaining GTO tasks. In my conference, I was asked about my stay and my performance. I gave an accurate description of what I felt, and also answered the two questions, I wasn’t able to answer in my interview. When results were announced, I did not expect myself to be recommended as the candidate before me was already a recommended one. But I was surprised to hear myself being called. It was the best feeling; hear your name being called. And after so many attempts, I finally succeeded.  My medicals were normal and I was declared Fit. Our medicals were done in 4 days.
