Indian Army TGC 145 Recruitment 2026 - 30 Posts

Check your age on the closing date of 29 October 2026 with the age calculator. Because the age relaxation for OBC, SC/ST and PwD candidates is not stated in the notification data available here, do not assume any relaxation applies to you until you have confirmed the exact years in the official notification.

Map your degree to the stream it belongs to before you apply. The Civil stream (8 seats) covers Civil Building Construction and Technology. Computer Science (6 seats) covers Computer Science and Engineering, Computer Technology, Information Technology and M.Sc. Computer Science. Electronics (6 seats) covers Electronics, Electronics and Telecom, Electronics and Communication, Fibre Optics, Telecommunication, Microelectronics and Microwave, Optoelectronics and Satellite Communication. Mechanical (6 seats) covers Mechanical, Production, Automobile, Industrial, Manufacturing, Industrial Engineering and Management, Workshop Technology, Aeronautical, Aerospace and Avionics. Electrical (2 seats) covers Electrical, Electrical and Electronics, and Instrumentation.

The Miscellaneous Engineering stream (2 seats) is the broadest, listing disciplines such as Architecture, Plastic Technology, Remote Sensing, Ballistics, Biomedical Engineering, Food Technology, Agriculture, Metallurgy, Explosives, Laser Technology, Biotechnology, Rubber Technology, Chemical Engineering, Transportation Engineering, Mining, Nuclear Technology and Textile. Candidates whose degree title does not match a listed branch closely should confirm eligibility in the notification before paying any fee or submitting the form.

• Pay: As per Indian Army rules. Pay level and basic pay: See official notification.
• Allowances and deductions: Not specified in the notification data available here. See official notification.
• Promotion timeline: See official notification.

The Job Details for this recruitment do not confirm the pay level, the pension scheme that applies, or the deduction structure, so no in-hand figure is given here. Do not compare offers on the basis of gross pay alone. Once you have the pay matrix from the notification or the official Army pay rules, enter the figures into the salary calculator to see your estimated take-home amount and compare it with private-sector engineering roles in your stream. Ask specifically about the pension scheme, allowances for accommodation and field postings, and the promotion timeline before you accept any offer, since these shape long-term earnings more than the starting figure.

• Wrong photo or signature format: Uploading files outside the size, dimensions or file type stated in the notification is one of the most common reasons forms are rejected at scrutiny. Check the specifications before uploading.
• Incomplete education details: Leaving out a semester, a percentage, a passing year or a university name can cause a mismatch with your certificates at a later stage.
• Wrong stream selection: Choosing a stream that does not match your degree title, especially in the Miscellaneous Engineering stream, can lead to rejection even if you meet the age and qualification criteria.
• Age miscalculation: Calculating your age against the wrong date, or assuming a relaxation that the notification does not confirm, can make an otherwise eligible candidate ineligible. Check the closing date and the official relaxation rules.
• Unsupported category claim: Claiming SC, ST, OBC or PwD status without the correct certificate in the prescribed format will fail verification.
• Missing documents at verification: Keep original degree certificates, marksheets for every semester or year, category certificate, domicile proof if required, and ID proof ready, since they will be checked later.

The notification data does not specify the document verification schedule, medical examination requirements or training period. See official notification for the exact timeline. In general, candidates who clear the selection stages are expected to complete document verification and a medical examination before they are appointed, so keep your medical records and original documents ready in advance.

Posting locations for this recruitment are described as All India under the Central Government. Preference systems, posting cycles and joining formalities are not specified in the notification data here. Plan the end-to-end timeline from the closing date through selection and joining only after reading the official notification, since the dates for each stage are not included in this summary.

Join Indian Army is the official recruitment portal of the Indian Army, the land component of the Armed Forces of India, which operates under the Ministry of Defence. The Indian Army is one of the largest standing volunteer armies in the world and has a long history of officer recruitment through its commissioning routes, including technical entry schemes for engineering graduates.

The organisation's mandate is national defence, and its recruitment notifications are published on the official Army recruitment portal, which makes it a reliable source for verifying eligibility, dates and application steps. Because the portal is the authoritative channel for this recruitment, check the notification directly there rather than relying on secondary summaries.

Technical Graduate Course entries are designed for engineering graduates who will serve as commissioned officers in technical and engineering roles within the Army. Day-to-day duties depend on the stream and the posting. Officers in Civil, Electrical, Mechanical, Electronics and Computer Science streams are generally assigned to technical projects, equipment maintenance, infrastructure, communications or systems work, while Miscellaneous Engineering streams cover a wider range of specialised tasks. Specific duties, reporting structures, uniform requirements and field versus desk allocation are not specified in the notification data available here. See official notification for details on the role.
