Hi N Rahim Kumar,

IMA trains officers for a long 20 year assignment with Indian army. OTA trains men and women officers for short service commission. Also its kind of option to the people who didn't studied mathematics as their main subject during school days to get into defence forces.

if you want to spend twenty years as an officer, opt for IMA. Its in Dehradun. But if you want to experience a short term with army and then decide whether you want to extend subsequently, OTA will be your option.

Dear Sushree,

Thank you for your query. The following is the cutoff for IMA in Social Sciences for University of Hyderabad in 2019:

• 2016: 60 and above
• 2018: 80 to 100

The other aspect about the cutoff is taken by considering both the test and the interview so if there are 100 students there are chances that only 50-70 students will be taken as there are less number of seats.

All the best
