Officers Training Academy is one of the premier Pre-commission Training Institutions of Indian Army, which is designed to commission approximately 750 Short Service Commissioned Army officers each year.

Successful Cadets report to the Academy during the months of Apr and Oct (generally on second Thursday/Friday) each year and are imparted 49 weeks of military training organised into two semesters of 23 weeks each with a three weeks Term Break. At any point of time, two courses are conducted at the Academy.

Mid Term Hikes: During mid-term breaks, volunteer/selected Cadets may be sent on organised adventure hikes / educational tours to other training establishments. Balance of the Cadets who have passed all their mandatory tests may be sent on midterm leave at the discretion of The Commandant, OTA.

Special Leave: In addition to the above, special leave up to a maximum of 10 days may be granted to the Cadets only on extreme compassionate grounds by the Commandant, OTA.

It is pertinent to mention that even a single day of training missed makes it difficult for the trainees to catch up with the fast paced training curriculum. Cadets are, therefore, advised not to make requests for avoidable leave in their own interest.
