the following competitive and promotion
examinations:-

(Army and Navy) & TSOC.

|
AIM |
| 2. |
The aim of the USI
correspondence courses is to assist
Service officers to prepare for the
selected examination, in a systematic
and comprehensive manner. |
|
|
CONDUCT OF COURSES |
| 3. |
The correspondence
courses are essentially in the nature
of revision courses and therefore,
presuppose a certain degree of
pre-course study on the part of
officers.
|
| 4. |
The conduct of the
correspondence courses is through the
despatch at regular intervals of test
papers for subjects as applicable to
the selected examination. These test
papers are set by experienced
instructors on the pattern of the
actual examination and cover all
important aspects of subjects in a
graduated manner. The final test paper
in each subject covers the entire
syllabus for the subject and is
virtually a full dress rehearsal just
before the actual examination.
|
| 5. |
Students are
required to answer the test papers in
their own time under examination
conditions and send the answer sheets
to the USI. Each student answer sheet
is corrected by an experienced
Directing Staff in detail and returned
to the officer along with detailed
comments and personal guidance notes.
Besides, suggested answers to the test
papers are also sent for guidance of
the students.
|
| 6. |
Study material
including specifically prepared maps
for Military History (expressly
prepared for the USI by experienced
and senior Directing Staff) designed
to make understanding of the
prescribed military campaign and
biographical character, easier, are
provided to the students taking the
course.
|
| 7. |
Similarly, for
Current Affairs, quarterly supplements
(expressly collated for the USI by
experienced and senior Directing
Staff) comprehensively covering international and
domestic scenes are
made available.

clarification and amplification on subject(s) raised by the students.
