There are a bunch of early 20's guys in line for their upgrade in the next 3-4 months and almost all are smart... well liked and have a good head on their shoulders.

Min age for ALTP in India... 21 like the rest of the world... so no eye popping surprises there.
As of now 40-50 cadets out approx 150 in various stages of training. For now recruitment on hold.
Bracing for incoming.
