TES Coaching at ADCI
The Technical Entry Scheme (TES) is a premier opportunity for 10+2 passed candidates to join the Indian Army as officers. Unlike NDA, TES allows science stream students (PCM) to directly enter into a technical training program after their 12th board exams, leading to a permanent commission in the Indian Army. The TES entry opens twice a year for courses commencing in January and July. This route is highly popular among aspirants who aim for a technical career in the armed forces.
