call to this number u will get full information abut defence services
09962992597

you can go for various course in defense service.though not very high on the popularity graph as a career option these days.since you are an engineer, recruitment is done specially for those with engineering degree for certain posts.A student finishing plus two examination can now opt for an engineering career in the Army or Navy through Technical Entry Scheme, which enables him to become an engineer at Army expense before getting commissioned as an officer.

gudeve.......

sir how can i join defence just after passing XII class???is dere any entrence xam like NDA????

friend.U finish your graduation successfully and appear for examinations like National defence academy okay frd

joining defence services is just like giving something back to your country.
you can either join army,navy or air force .
taliking air force there u can apply for electronics branch which deals with signal and communication stuff.
in army you can go for signals group
and regarding navy you can join engine department which deals with technical management and working of all machinery.
for all thisa first you have to complete your b.tech with min 60%.

if you want to join the defence,you will have a bright future ahead.A career in the Defence Forces as an officer has always had a place of dignity and respect amongst the youth, though not very high on the popularity graph as a career option these days. Not withstanding the exponential growth in white collar jobs in the last two decades, the reason to a large extent also depends upon unawareness among the youth regarding the options available, service conditions and quality of life.

A student finishing plus two examination can now opt for an engineering career in the Army or Navy through Technical Entry Scheme, which enables him to become an engineer at Army expense before getting commissioned as an officer. No UPSC examination is required for this entry. Besides this the entry through National Defence Academy , Khadakvasla after a UPSC written exam is still quiet popular. NDA provides world class training facilities which include a graduation in science/humanities stream from JNU. It gives one innumerable opportunities to develop one’s personality and cultivate new interests. In fact one can choose from over thirty different extra-curricular activities like aero-modeling, golf, gliding, sailing, wind surfing astronomy and many more.

m doing bca....i wants to join defence service ....is there any scope for bsc student????nd i m a giri student......

hello member



there are some seats for management professionals for

budget allocation

strategic management

Best of Luck..

i appreciate your decision of getting into defense, there are many ways to get into it :-
1) you can give the NDA exam

2) you can apply for direct interview under technical entry scheme(for this you have to score 75% in pcm)

3) you can go for it after completing your graduation by giving CDS exam.

4) And some other exam like air force and army.

Best of luck
