How is the Army TES different from the NDA?

Both are gateways to becoming an officer in the Indian Army. One of the primary distinctions between the two is that NDA officers work across multiple units, whereas TES officers only work in the technical unit. The Army TES is different from the NDA in the following ways: 1. You can apply to NDA irrespective of your 12th-grade stream, whereas for TES you need the PCM stream. 2. Your 12th grade score does not matter in NDA entry, but for TES, you need to have a score of 60% in PCM. 3. To get NDA entry in the Army, you need to clear a written test of 900 marks before SSB, whereas for TES, you can directly appear for SSB. 4. Upon completion of training, NDA officers are awarded a B.A. or B.Sc. degree, whereas TES officers are awarded an engineering degree. 5. The NDA officers are trained in Khadakwasla and then in IMA, whereas the TES officers are trained in OTA, Gaya, and then in their respective colleges. 6. You will not get any technical allowance as an NDA officer, whereas as a TES officer, you can get around Rs. 10,000 per month.
