End of IT in TGC and SSC Technical Army

I am not giving any statement on this but it is quite clear now that something is wrong for IT [Information Technology] student in TGC and SSC technical entry , since TGC-114th and SSC-38th, IT branch is out of the list so do the IT students cum aspirants of Indian Army . In the recent notification of TGC-116 there is no seat for IT branch , but still some of the IT students are applying under the CSE branch saying that both are same (in syllabus), sarcastically there is only 1 seat for CSE.

Earlier there was no official confirmation regarding this issue but recently the Official website of Indian Army has issued two notices for SSC-39th & SSC-10th Technical which clears most of the doubts regarding this issue.

Let me tell you briefly what can we conclude from those notices.

Minimum cut off for SSC-10th Tech Women is 75%
Minimum cut off for SSC-39th Tech Men is 66%
You are not eligible if your actual engineering stream is different from what advertised in SSC-39th and SCC-10th Tech.

If you have read the 3rd point then you can clearly see that your branch should be mentioned as eligible branch in the Advertisement .

Though this notification is only for SSC-39th and SSC-10th not for TGC-116 , but I do not think there will be any change in rules and regulations , I hope that cut off can be lowered down a bit but branch issue may remain the same.

Statement from Army HQ shared by our reader :

“no sir i want to clear this issue i personally talk to army officials at army HQ they said last two years IT branch students are commissioned more than the reqirement like if there are 4 vacancy they selected 8 even in tgc112 they selected 22 against vacancy of 3 so to neutralize this they don’t publish any vacancy of IT for the tgc 115 and 116 but whenver the vacancy created MOD will publish it this can applicable to any branch “

If the above is correct then IT candidates still have a hope in the next TGC and SSC entries , but the question is, how long it will take?? and why did Army opted more number of IT branch candidates when the seats were less??
