    No, there is no strong data available that all short-service officers (OTA) do corporate jobs after serving for 10 years in the army. This is for multiple reasons:
    1. Some officers prefer to extend their service tenure for four more years, as per army rules.
    2. Around 5 percent get a permanent commission, depending on the vacancy.
    3. Some other officers prefer to go for other government jobs, such as railways, as there are relaxations and quotas for ex-servicemen in many government jobs.
    4. Some prefer to do higher studies, such as an MBA or Ph.D. before starting a new career.
    5. Some other SSC officers choose to guide defense aspirants
