GANGTOK, 07 May: More than 600 candidates will be sitting for the written examinations for the second round of recruitments for Sikkim Scouts Battalion and other Indian Army units on 26 May.
A total of 412 candidates have passed the medical tests from the second phase of recruitment held last month and are now ready for the written examination. In addition, 110 candidates from the first phase of the recruitment rally held in March who have been medically referred to base hospital, Bengdubi, have now been found medically fit and issued admit cards to sit for written examination.
Addressing a press conference today, Rajya Sainik Board Secretary, Colonel DN Bhutia, informed that there were 236 candidates from the second phase of the recruitment rally who have also been referred to the Base Hospital at Bengdubi. There will hence be more than 600 candidates appearing for the written examinations on 26 May.
“Seeing the trend, it is expected that at least 300 to 350 of 600 candidates will pass the written examination and be ready to join the Armed Forces. Therefore, it can be safely estimated that approximately 750 candidates from Sikkim would have joined various units of the Army by July this year,” he pointed out. This achievement within a single calendar year, would be a huge achievement for Sikkim.
Col Bhutia informed that at present 460 candidates selected from the first phase of the recruitment are undergoing Military Training at 11 GRRC, Lucknow, or are in the process of being dispatched to various training centres later this month. He added that the process of recruitment for raising Sikkim Scouts Battalion will continue in phases until the full authorized strength of the battalion is met.
The next recruitment rally is scheduled to be held in October at Paljor Stadium.
In this regard, the Secretary encouraged all young eligible youth to start preparing themselves in terms of Physical Fitness and the written examinations. He further urged them to also start preparing their documents so that rejections during the document inspection process are reduced. “There were a large number of young students who got rejected because of tattoos on their bodies. The loss of a good job due to Tatoos is unfortunate and is a lesson for others,” he added.
The Secretary also thanked the officials and staffs of different government departments for their support in these recruitment rallies and is raising the Sikkim Scouts Battalion.
