Will you please provide the Eligibility required to join Indian Military Academy?

[Kiran Chandar]

There are a number of ways in which applicants could get a commission in the Army.

Types of Commission

The Army offers both permanent and short service commission.
Short Service Commission (SSC) is granted through Officers Training Academy (OTA) Chennai.

Permanent commission (PC) is granted through the Indian Military Academy (IMA) Dehradun

When applicants opt for ‘PC’, applicants are basically looking at a permanent career in the Army, a career till you retire.

SSC is a wonderful option for all those of you who aspire to serve it for a few years.

SSC gives you the option of joining the Army, and serving it as a commissioned officer for ten years.

Once applicants tenure is over, applicants are allowed to opt for PC.

Alternatively, applicants can also ask for a four years extension and can choose to resign from your post any time during this period.
