Introduction

Engraved on the entrance to the central hall of the Indian Military Academy (IMA) is a passage known as the Chetwode motto. It says -

 

"The safety, honour and welfare of your country come first, always and every time. The honour, welfare and comfort of the men you command come next. Your own ease, comfort and safety come last, always and every time."

 

Officers who graduate from this prestigious academy swell with pride, whenever they see this motto as it exemplifies their patriotism and courage, and is a constant reminder of why they decided to join the Indian Army.

 

 

Here's what we at mapmytalent know about Career as an Indian Army Officer.

 

While joining the Indian Army doesn’t need astute academic caliber, but you need to have extremely high level of physical endurance and mental agility. Also it demands a different kind of a commitment from you. You can join as an officer or lower down in the hierarchy as a junior commissioned officer (JCO) or as a soldier. The Indian Army has over a million active personnel.

 

Apart from the obvious advantages of patriotism and serving the nation, joining the Army has the following benefits- job security, economic stability and the possibility of promotions, all of which have tangible values and are possible even in other spheres of employment. However joining the Army also advances social status and quality of life apart from allowing one to experience thrills and a sense of adventure which few other professions can compete with.

 

Although the Army is predominantly comprised of men, women are also allowed to join at the officer level. On graduation officers can accept either permanent commissions or short service commissions (SSC), however women are not allowed to join as permanent officers but can stay only for between 10 to 14 years in the Army, the same as any male SSC officer. However there are still obvious advantages to being a SSC officer. The training and discipline that the Army instils is valued in the corporate world and getting a well paid job after leaving the Army is not generally a problem.
