The Indian Army has released the merit lists for SSC Tech 66 and SSCW Tech 66 courses, scheduled for April 2026. These lists are highly anticipated by candidates who have applied for the Short Service Commission (SSC) Tech entry in the Indian Army. Both courses are avenues for young men and women to serve the nation as officers in the Indian Army. Here’s a breakdown of the details provided in the merit lists:
SSC Tech 66 Merit List (April 2026 Course)
This merit list is for male candidates applying for the SSC (Technical) 66 course. Below are the key points from the official notification:
- Document Submission: Candidates who have not yet submitted copies of all semester mark sheets, degree certificates, or provisional certificates are required to do so immediately. A self-attested scanned copy should be uploaded through the “Feedback/Query” option on the official Indian Army website.
- Joining Letters: The issuance of joining letters (JL) will be strictly based on merit, vacancy, medical fitness, and the submission of all requisite documents. It’s important to note that inclusion in the merit list does not guarantee the issuance of a joining letter.
- Medical Examination: The results of the medical examinations have not been taken into account when preparing the merit list. Thus, candidates still need to meet medical fitness requirements before final selection.
SSCW Tech 66 Merit List (April 2026 Course)
This merit list is for female candidates applying for the SSCW (Technical) 66 course. Like the SSC Tech 66, there are important instructions for candidates:
- Document Submission: Similar to the SSC Tech 63, candidates are required to submit their semester mark sheets and degree certificates if they have not done so. Submissions can be made via fax or by uploading a self-attested scanned copy to the Indian Army’s website.
- Joining Letters: Joining letters will be issued based on merit and subject to vacancies, medical fitness, and meeting eligibility criteria. The mere presence of a name in the merit list does not guarantee that a candidate will receive a joining letter.
- Educational Certificates: Candidates whose educational certificates are found missing or incomplete will be contacted through their registered email addresses.
Important Instructions for Candidates
Candidates whose names appear in the merit lists are advised to complete their documentation and medical requirements at the earliest. As emphasized in the notifications, inclusion in the merit list is not an automatic confirmation of joining the Indian Army. All selected candidates must clear the final eligibility criteria, including medical fitness, to receive their joining letters.
For further details, candidates are encouraged to regularly check the Indian Army’s official website or contact through the “Feedback/Query” option available on the portal.
This merit list is a significant milestone for candidates, marking their progress toward becoming officers in the Indian Army. Those who make it through the final stages will have the honor of serving the nation in a vital capacity, contributing their expertise to the defence forces.
