Yes you can.
You will be required to appear for the NDA exams, or the SSC exams. Once you clear the written, you will have to qualify the fitness test to get selected.

Of course, you can join Indian army .As your age is 18 ,so I think you have passed 12th .If you have completed it with science then you can apply for NDA .

Eligibility criteria for NDA -
1.12th with PCM.
2.Age should be between 16.5 to 19 years .
3.Candidate should be an Indian .

So according to age criteria you are eligible .

Next NDA exam will be conducted on = april/2012.

You should appear for National Defence Academy (NDA) examination which is conducted by UPSC twice in a year.

The candidate must did 10+2 with any of the stream. To be eligible for the exam. As per your height and age eligibility, you can appear for the examination, provided your age should be 18 years or below as on the date of joining.
