In a commendable showcase of talent and preparation, a total of 64 aspirants have been recommended for the Officers Training Academy (Women), while 510 candidates have made their mark for the Officers Training Academy (Men). The results further highlight the success of candidates across various branches of the Indian armed forces, with 37 individuals receiving recommendations for the Indian Air Force, 89 for the Indian Naval Academy, and 223 for the Indian Military Academy, showcasing a wide range of skills and competencies.
Aditya Kumar emerged as a consistent performer, topping both IMA scoring 305 out of 600 marks and OTA Men with 222 out of 400 marks.
In INA, a rare tie occurred where three candidates—Siddharth M, Utkrisst Shankar, and Varade Tejas Deelip—secured 279 out of 600 marks each. This three-way tie at the top highlights how competitive this year’s batch has been. Notably, despite having the same score, their birth dates vary, which could have been used as a tie-breaker depending on institutional policy.
In AFA, Tanish Goyal claimed the top position in OTA Women with 292 out of 600 marks, showcasing strong performance and placing himself comfortably above his peers in that list.
In OTA Women, Annu stood out by topping with 217 out of 400 marks. Her score reflects both academic competence and performance in the selection process, placing her at the forefront among female aspirants.
