• 'C' certificate of Naval, Army or Air Wing with minimum 'B' Grade.

• 'C' certificate must not be dated before 01 January 2024.

Vacancy Details

Vacancies are tentative and may be changed depending on the availability of training slots.

Selection Process

The Indian Navy SSC IT Jan 27 selection runs in three steps:

1. Application shortlisting based on normalised marks obtained in the qualifying degree. The normalisation formula is published on joinindiannavy.gov.in.

2. SSB Interview at the assigned SSB centre. Shortlisted candidates are informed by email or SMS to the contact details given in the application.

3. Medical Examination as per Indian Navy guidelines, followed by police and character verification.

Marks considered for shortlisting:

• BE / B Tech candidates (completed or final year): marks obtained up to the 5th semester.

• MSc / MCA / M Tech candidates who have completed the degree: marks of all semesters.

• MSc / MCA / M Tech candidates in the final year: marks up to the pre-final year.

The final merit list is prepared on the basis of SSB marks. Candidates declared fit in the medical examination are appointed subject to police verification, character verification and availability of vacancies. Mere inclusion in the merit or select list does not confer a vested right of appointment. Change of SSB centre is not permitted under any circumstances. AC 3-tier rail fare is admissible for SSB interview, only if appearing for the first time for that type of commission.

Medical Standards

All SSB-recommended candidates undergo a Naval medical examination. There is no relaxation in medical standards on any ground and change of medical hospital or centre is not permitted. Detailed medical guidelines are available on joinindiannavy.gov.in.

Terms of Service

• Tenure: Short Service Commission initially for 10 years, extendable by a maximum of 04 years in 02 terms of 02 years each, subject to service requirement, performance, medical eligibility and willingness.

• Maximum service: 14 years; extension beyond 14 years will not be granted.

• Permanent Commission: Not applicable to officers selected under this entry.

• Resignation: Selected officers cannot leave before 10 years except in exceptional circumstances.

• Marriage rule: Only unmarried candidates are eligible for training. Any candidate found married or marrying during training is discharged and is liable to refund full pay, allowances and other expenditure incurred by the Government.

Training

Selected candidates are inducted in the rank of Sub Lieutenant. The course begins with a 6-week Naval Orientation Course at the Indian Naval Academy, Ezhimala, Kerala, followed by professional training at Naval Ships and training establishments as per extant regulations. Voluntary withdrawal during initial training or resignation during probation requires refund of the cost of training (in whole or part as determined by Government), plus all pay and allowances drawn, with interest at the prevailing rate for Government loans.

Probation, Pay and Allowances

• Probation: Two years from the date of grant of the rank of Sub Lieutenant, or completion of initial training — whichever is later. Officers can be discharged during probation for unsatisfactory performance at any stage.

• Basic pay: Rs. 56,100/- per month at Sub Lieutenant level, plus allowances admissible under Indian Navy regulations.

• Insurance: All officers and cadets are compulsorily covered under the Naval Group Insurance Scheme (NGIS) on contribution basis; cover applies while in service and post retirement as per extant regulations.
