Indian Army Releases TGC 144 Merit List for January 2027 Course; 48 Candidates Recommended
The Indian Army has released the merit list for the Technical Graduate Course (TGC) 144, scheduled to begin in January 2027. A total of 48 candidates have been recommended across six engineering disciplines.
The list gives candidates the discipline-wise vacancy numbers, the number of recommended candidates and the top-ranked candidate in each discipline. The number recommended is not the same as the number of vacancies, and inclusion in the list does not by itself confirm final admission.
TGC 144 discipline-wise details
| Engineering Discipline | Vacancies | Total Recommended Candidates | Top Rank Holder |
|---|---|---|---|
| Civil Engineering | 8 | 6 | Rohit Kumar Kotwal |
| Computer Science Engineering | 6 | 17 | Harshvardhan Singh Nathawat |
| Electrical Engineering | 2 | 3 | Kumar Gaurav |
| Electronics Engineering | 6 | 13 | Gaurav Diwakar |
| Mechanical Engineering | 6 | 7 | Akash Pandey |
| Miscellaneous Engineering | 2 | 2 | Vaibhav Singh Rathore |
Documents, medical fitness and joining letters
Candidates who have not yet submitted copies of all semester mark sheets, their degree or provisional degree certificates, and any other documents specified in the course notification must upload self-attested scanned copies through the official Indian Army website, joinindianarmy.nic.in. The documents should be submitted promptly to avoid delays in the final selection process.
Joining Letters will be issued according to the merit list and are subject to vacancies in the relevant engineering discipline, medical fitness, submission of the required documents and fulfilment of all other eligibility criteria in the course notification. A candidate’s name on the merit list is not confirmation of selection.
Medical examination results were not taken into account when the merit list was prepared. Recommended candidates must still undergo a thorough medical examination and be found medically fit for commissioning into the Army.
How to check the merit list
Candidates can access the list through the Indian Army website:
- Visit www.joinindianarmy.nic.in.
- Under “Officers Selection”, select Merit Lists (Less UPSC/Departmental Entries).
- Open the merit list for the TGC-144 (January 2027) Course.
- When the result appears, use Ctrl+F to search for your roll number.
- Download and save the list for future reference.
The merit list is also available through the PDF link above. Recommendation reflects candidates’ performance in the selection process, including academic performance and the SSB interview, but further requirements remain before final selection.
Next steps for recommended candidates
Candidates should submit any outstanding mark sheets or degree certificates and keep multiple sets of self-attested copies available for verification. They should also prepare for the Army medical examination and address any medical concerns promptly before the scheduled examinations.
Candidates who complete the documentation requirements and medical tests successfully will receive Joining Letters for training at the Indian Military Academy (IMA), Dehradun. Completion of training leads to commissioning as an officer in the Indian Army.
