Education and Career Forum

as a doctor i want to join indian army What is the procedure I am close to completion of my PG course in anesthesia

Dear students all of you have aspirations and dreams, of what your education will finally yield. If you are looking for a fat pay packet, a corporate job is the answer. But above and beyond this should be the question of what the job offer in totality. Let us see what attributes go into making an excellent career. The attributes that one expects from a satisfying profession are:-

(a) Professional Advancement

(b) Job Satisfaction

(c) Job Security

(d) Economic Stability

(e) Social Status

(f) Quality of Life

(g) Variety and Adventure



If these are what you too are looking forward to, then Army is the profession for you, as these in the Army, compare far more than favourably with any other service.

All of us are aware that, professions are competitive, in so far as promotions are concerned. Army is no different. However, as said earlier the competition in the Army is clean and devoid of any other factor but competence.

Professional Advancement

The promotional avenues available to an Army officer are:-

By Time Scale

1. Captain

2. Major

3. Lieutenant Colonel

By Selection

1. Colonel

2 Brigadier

3 Major General

4 Lieutenant General

5 General

JOB SATISFACTION

Lack of job satisfaction leads to tremendous frustration and results in job-hopping. Jobs in the civil world whether with the government or the corporate leave one with no alternate avenues if stuck with a frustrating portfolio or set up. On the contrary, the sheer variety, sense of purpose, responsibility and pride, negate any job dissatisfaction in the Army.

JOB SECURITY

For an effective career, a long-term strategy is essential and this is possible only if continuity and job security is assured. The Army has been structured to ensure that its personnel work with unhindered dignity. Additionally, statutory rules and regulations exist to safeguard the interests of the servicemen adequately both while in service and after retirement.

FOREIGN COURSES AND POSTINGS.

The service also offers opportunity for courses and postings abroad. The India Army is renowned all over the world and interaction with foreign armies is extensive. Service with UN Forces provides exposure and travel opportunities across the globe.

ECONOMIC STABILITY

Consequent to the Sixth Pay Commission salaries have shot up. While the pay and the allowances of an Army officer may superficially appear to be at par with other Central government services, and may be less than that offered by the corporate sector, the quality of life and non-inflationary nature of the perks, which the Army offers outshine the other services. Government job entitles you to many hidden perks, which you may NOT quantify while calculating remuneration. Apparently, there are about 61 types of facilities, benefits and allowances that are applicable to Army in general. In fact if one were to work out the remuneration of a service officer vis a vis a comparable job in the private sector, on the basis of ‘cost to company’ you would be astounded to find the returns of an Army man to be more if not the same. Some of these perks which are not quantified in terms of cash and are immune to inflation are as follows in case of a Lieutenant, which is the starting rank.

check whether your collage participate in UES (university entrance scheme) for selection in armed forces defense people conduct campus interviews and select eligible candidates and call letter (to attend SSB/SSC) is posted to the address mentioned in application form, or if you have passed out from collage then you can apply for SSB/SSC (service selection board/service selection commission) examination, if you clear the exam then you will get call letter
usually the selection procedure takes for 8 to 15 days, this includes medical check up, aptitude test, GTO etc, if u clear this the all India merit list is announced

You can Join the Indian Army as a Doctor by Two ways:

1. SSC - Short Service Commission
2. AFMC Cadet Entry

AFMS cadet entry, candidates must have a 10+2 with PCB with not less than 60% of marks. In SSC the applicant can be up to the age of 45 years and must acquire a medical certificate from a recognized university by the Medical council of India.
