How TA Recruitment Works
Officer entries are usually through UPSC exams or direct entries followed by an SSB interview and a medical board. Other ranks are recruited through written exams and physical tests, and civilian posts through separate notices for units and establishments.
Preparing for TA Recruitment
Defence selection tests the whole person. Alongside the written exam, build physical fitness steadily and, for officer entries, prepare for the SSB interview by practising group discussions and reflecting honestly on your own experiences.
Eligibility for TA Jobs
Each TA notification sets the qualification and age limits for its posts. Central government recruitment explains the standard age relaxations and the mistakes that get applications rejected.
Pay and Benefits at TA
Defence pay follows the central pay matrix with military service pay and allowances for field and high-altitude postings. Agniveers receive a fixed package under the Agnipath scheme. Civilian defence employees are paid on the central pay matrix.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the age limit for TA jobs?
It differs by post. Each TA notification states the minimum and maximum age, the date on which age is counted and the relaxations for reserved categories.
Can final-year students apply for TA recruitment?
Only where the notification allows it. Some recruitments accept candidates who will complete their qualification by a stated date; others need the qualification on the closing date.
Is there an application fee for TA jobs?
Most recruitments charge a fee, with exemptions or reductions commonly given to women, SC, ST, persons with disabilities and ex-servicemen. The fee and exemptions are listed in each notice.
Where are TA recruitment notices published?
TA publishes its notices on its official website. We have not yet confirmed the address of that website, so follow the official link given on each recruitment page.
Is this the official TA website?
No. ItsSarkariNaukri.com is an independent website and is not connected with Territorial Army. We list its recruitment after checking the official notification, and always link to the official source for applying.
How can I know when TA announces new jobs?
New recruitment from TA appears on this page once it has been checked. There is no open recruitment right now. Checking the official website regularly is the surest way not to miss a notice.
