Good news for all Army aspirants. The Indian Army has released the Merit List for the (10+2) TES-54 Course, and it’s now available on the official website Indian Army 

If you’ve been dreaming of joining the Indian Army as an officer right after your 12th, this is your moment. Let’s understand what this merit list means, how you can check it, and what happens next in your journey.

About the 10+2 TES Entry

The Technical Entry Scheme (TES) is one of the most sought-after entries for 10+2 pass-out students who have studied Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics (PCM). It’s a direct entry into the Indian Army without a written exam.

Candidates are shortlisted based on their JEE Mains score, followed by the SSB interview and medical examination. Those who clear all these stages make it to the final merit list and get the opportunity to undergo training at the Indian Military Academy (IMA), Dehradun.

The TES-54 course will commence in January 2026, and the merit list has been uploaded on the Army’s official portal.

How the Merit List is Prepared

Now, you might be wondering if this merit list was made?

Well, after shortlisting candidates based on their JEE Mains scores, the Army calls them for the SSB Interview. Those who perform well at the SSB and are declared medically fit are included in the final merit list.

It’s important to note that the JEE Mains marks are not counted in the final merit. Only SSB performance and medical fitness matter at this stage.

However, being on the merit list doesn’t automatically mean a joining letter, which depends on vacancy availability and medical status.

What Happens After the Merit List

After the release of the merit list, candidates are issued joining letters based on their rank in the merit list and the number of available vacancies.

Those who receive the joining letter will report to IMA, Dehradun, for the TES-54 training program.

The training lasts four years, divided into:

• One year at IMA, Dehradun, and
• Three years at a selected engineering institution.

After successful completion, cadets are commissioned as Lieutenants in the Indian Army and awarded a B.Tech degree.

Documents Required at the Time of Joining

Here’s a quick list of documents you must keep ready once you receive the joining letter:

• Original 10th and 12th mark sheets and certificates
• JEE Mains scorecard
• Medical fitness certificate from a military hospital
• Valid photo ID proof
• Recent passport-size photographs
• Character certificate from your school or college

Double-check the joining instructions carefully to avoid last-minute hassles.

For Those Who Didn’t Make It

If your name isn’t on the merit list this time, don’t lose hope. Many successful officers didn’t make it on their first attempt. Use this experience to improve your preparation for NDA, CDS, or AFCAT. There are multiple paths to the same dream of joining the armed forces.

Remember, what matters most is your consistency and determination to serve the nation.
