Question map
Which one of the following is not an Inter- Services Establishment?
Explanation
Inter-Services Establishments are institutions that provide joint training or services to personnel from all three branches of the Indian Armed Forces: the Army, Navy, and Air Force. The National Defence Academy (NDA) is a premier tri-service academy where cadets of the three services train together. The National Defence College (NDC) provides strategic education to senior officers of the three services and civil services. The Armed Forces Medical College (AFMC) is an inter-services institution providing medical training to officers of the Army, Navy, and Air Force. In contrast, the Officers Training Academy (OTA) is a service-specific establishment primarily dedicated to training officers for the Indian Army. Therefore, OTA is not classified as an Inter-Services Establishment, as it does not cater to the joint training of all three wings of the armed forces.
