JOIN Indian Defence Services
by JKIndian on Jul 25, 2007 12:39 AM   Permalink | Hide replies

Need of today is to Join Indian defence services, they r short of skilled manpower.
I am an Engineer and Joined Indian Army on Short Service commision for 5 yrs and now work in Multinational overseas. I feel my stint with Army shaped my life in positive way.
We should and we can serve Defence services for atleast 5yrs, I think it should be made mandatory. I being a Kashmiri Hindu always wanted to be in ARMY to defeat terrorists, I got atleast some taste of it.

@JKIndian....

Serious questions for you...hope you can answer them.

My younger brother was interested in joining the army as a Mechanical Engineer.....he went through the various rounds of interviews....and finally there was this camp in Varanasi. At the camp, they graded all the performers into A, B & C grades. After the grading they did away with all the 'A' & 'C' grades, my brother was in the 'A' grade. Those that were finally offered the positions in the general category were all from the 'B' grade.

My questions -
1. Is that the preferred practice in recruitment? Getting away from the 'A' graders ie.
2. When the 'A' graders enquired about the reasoning, the army just stated that they didn't think of the 'A' graders as a long term asset.....and they thought they were very likely to quit the army after a short stint. Again is this true?
