Dear Aspirant,

Para commando is the bravest of the brave regiment in the Indian Army. This regiment as already been awarded 08 Ashok Chakras, 11 Maha Vir Chakras, 21 Kirti Chakras, 106 Shaurya Chakras, 63 Vir Chakras and 491 Sena Medals and it continues to do so.

Lets look at the various aspects of this job.

The tasks you will need to do would be special in nature and would demand high physical fitness and mental boldness. You will undergo a Specialisation Training for doing so after you have cleared for it which will be dependent on your aptitude. You will have to specialise in any of these:

  1. Combat Free Fall.

  2. Under Water Diving.

  3. Paramotor Pilot.

  4. IGLA and A/Tk Missile Pilot.

  5. Rock Craft and Ice Craft.

The selection is tough and the training is breathtakingly persistent but you get to wear the ELITE status.

Here is the recruitment process and eligibility criteria:

  1. The candidate must get 100% marks in physical fitness test and 50% in the written test. Only these candidates will be given an option of joining the PARA commando. Then they will be subjected to additional tests.
  2. If any of the candidates fail these extra tests, they will still be able to join their parent regiment.
  3. The special tests are as follows: 1. 5 km run which has to be completed in 20 minutes, 14 chin-ups, 40 push up reps in 1 minutes, 80 sit-up reps in 2 minutes and 17 times metre shuttle in 1 minutes.
  4. These guidelines will be given in details once you get selected.

Hope this helps. All the best!

Hi Divy!!

As per tenure, the service period of a soldier in para commando is as same as the other personel in army. A jawan can proceed on pension after 15 years of service. Thereafter for each rank upward than a Naik, number of years if service has been fixed for superannuation.

A jawan after spending a few years may get a chance to go on outside posting for 2- 3 years and then come back to the unit.

Hope this helps.
