Indian Army JAG Entry 125th Course 2026: Apply Online for 10 SSC Officer Posts
Good news for law graduates dreaming of a career in olive green — the Indian Army has thrown open applications for the JAG Entry Scheme 125th Course, offering a shot at becoming a commissioned officer in the Judge Advocate General Branch. Only 10 vacancies are up for grabs this time (combined for men and women), so it’s a tough but genuinely rewarding opportunity if you’ve got your LLB with 55% aggregate marks in hand and a CLAT PG 2026 score to back it up. Applications went live on 17 July 2026 and the window shuts on 17 August 2026, so there’s no time to sit on this one. What makes this entry stand out is that there’s zero application fee, and instead of a written exam, your CLAT PG score does the talking for shortlisting — followed by the SSB interview, a medical check, and then the final merit list. Clear all that, and you’re headed to the Officers Training Academy, Chennai for 49 weeks of training, drawing a stipend of Rs.56,100/month while you’re at it. Come out the other side as a Lieutenant, and you’re looking at a package of roughly Rs.17-18 lakh per annum — not bad for someone stepping straight out of law school into a uniform. Scroll down for the full eligibility criteria, selection stages, physical fitness benchmarks, and how to apply.
