Am I eligible to give direct SSB if I have secured 85% marks in 12th? Can you please let me know the minimum eligibility criteria required for the same? It will be really helpful for me to understand the information soon on the same. Thank you!

No you are not eligible to give direct SSB interview after 12th class. You have to be first entitled for the SSB exam and after appearing in exam than you are eligible to for the interview round based on the merit list issued by UPSC. After graduation there is a SSC (Short Service Commission) here you can give direct SSB interview but based upon your marks. All the candidate will have to be upload his information on the official website of Indian Army which is www.joinindianarmy.nic.in .
The board will issue a merit list based upon the percentage getting in 10th 12th and graduation. And than those selected candidates will directly appear for the interview.

Yes, you can apply for Technical Entry Scheme conducted by Indian Army. Candidates can apply for TES at official website of Army http://www.joinindianarmy.nic.in. The application for TES is available twice every year.

Once application process is over, Indian Army sets a cut off percentage of marks for shortlisting candidates for Service Selection Board. 85% marks in 10+2 is good and you have good chance of getting a call for direct SSB.

SSB stands for Service Selection Board and SSB interview is the second stage of NDA examination which must be cleared by one who is aiming to become a defense officer.

Yes one can directly go for SSB interview through TES ( Technical Entry Scheme ) scheme. Entry through TES scheme is based on the percentage aggregate secured in the board examination.

One thing which I would like you to make you clear that the cutoff for TES is not fixed and it moves up and down now then so one can not exactly predict that whether your are eligible for next SSB through next TES entry scheme.

But you are eligible for applying for TES entry scheme as for this the minimum percentage required is only 70%. Also you can expect that you will get the entry through the same scheme as the cutoff for the same lies around 80% to 85 % more often than not.

For applying for the TES entry scheme and for more details you can log on the link www.joinindianarmy.nic.in.
