The Army Technical Entry Scheme (TES) is for technical units of the army related to engineering. Once you get selected for TES, you get trained in OTA Gaya for one year, and later you are sent to pursue an engineering degree in military colleges. The B.Tech streams offered through TES are as follows:
1. At the Military College of Telecommunication Engineering of Mhow: (a) Computer Science Engineering (b) Telecommunication Engineering
2. College of Military Engineering of Pune (a) Civil Engineering (b) Mechanical Engineering
3. At Military College of Electronics & Mechanical Engineering of Secunderabad (a) Mechanical Engineering (b) Electronics Engineering.

Yes, just like other defense entry exams, the Army TES has physical requirements. These are listed below:
1. The minimum required height is 157.5 cm.
2. There is a 5 cm relaxation for Gorkha, Garhwal, Northeast, and Kumaon candidates.
3. The chest should be well developed with minimum expansion after full inspiration must be 5 cm.
4. The weight must be proportional to height and age.
5. The candidates must be free from diseases like piles. There are other vision, hearing, teeth, etc. Requirements as stated on the official website of the Indian Army. To avoid problems later on, you can check all the requirements and get medically tested before the actual medical test.

To get selected for Army TES, you need to score well in 12th grade and clear JEE Mains. These two stages will last about a year if you passed JEE Mains in your first attempt immediately after 12th grade exams. Following which, you need to apply online for TES with your scores. You will receive a call for a SSB interview and medical exam based on your application. You need at least three months of practice to get ready for this stage. It is not a six-month process like other defense exams. You will be called for SSB on the designated board as soon as the applications are shortlisted. The SSB interview lasts for five days, with various tests to determine suitability for the army taking place each day. As a result, it will take you at least two or three months to prepare for the SSB and one year to achieve the required 60% on the JEE Main and 12th grade exams.
