CAREER ROSPECTS AS OFFICERS
http://www.armedforcesacademy.org/careerprospects%20.htm
Career in the Armed Forces has steadily become more and more attractive to the youth of the country due to the following reasons:- 1. Salary scales have improved considerably and are currently comparable to any of the public /private sector undertaking. With a starting salary of Rs 5600 to Rs 63000 plus other perks like DA, Free Messing etc the compensation is second to none.
2. Increased promotion prospects, i.e. an assured career level rise to the rank of Colonel/Equivalent.
3.Free accommodation, food and world class training up to graduate level at the NDA & Naval Academy, B .Tech level in the Defence Engineering colleges and Medical education in the AFMC. Candidates are assured of a placement on successful completion of the training. Deserving candidates are sent for PG/ Advanced Specialization courses.
4. Free medical care for self and dependents even after retirement through Ex-servicemen Contributing Health Scheme (ECHS). Major Hospitals in the country are on the panel of ECHS.
5. Extensive Group Insurance coverage.
6. 60 days Annual leave, in addition to Casual leave, Sick Leave etc along with liberal Travel concessions.
7. Excellent recreational facilities. Opportunity for pursuing various Games and Sports including Golf and Riding.
8. Opportunity to serve in any part of the country and world.
9.Above all the pride one feels in wearing the Armed Forces Uniform and the camaraderie one experiences while in Service and even after retirement.
The above factors have resulted in a large increase in the number of youth seeking employment in our Armed forces. However due to inadequate preparation and lack of information, only a handful of them manage to qualify for the specific and rigorous testing procedures conducted in our Services Selection Boards (SSBs). The AFEA aims at bridging this gap and ensuring its candidates are fully equipped to face the requirements of the selection process.
