Indian Army TES 56 Notification 2026 Overview

The Indian Army has officially released the short notice for the Technical Entry Scheme (TES-56) Recruitment 2026. This prestigious entry is specifically designed for 10+2 students who aspire to join the Indian Army as Commissioned Officers. The course is scheduled to commence in January 2027 at the Officers Training Academy. This recruitment is a highly sought-after opportunity as it allows candidates to gain a Permanent Commission without a standard written examination, relying instead on 12th-grade merit and JEE Mains performance.

To be eligible for the Indian Army TES-56, candidates must have passed their 10+2 or equivalent examination with a minimum aggregate of 60% marks in Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics (PCM). Additionally, appearing in the JEE (Mains) 2026 is a mandatory requirement.

Successful candidates will undergo four years of technical training before being commissioned into the rank of Lieutenant.
