Hllo rafeek,

as you mentioned you have opted for your bca after 4years of work experience,I can predict that you have crossed your age limit of 23years for entry of any gradute to any defence branches,but if you have'nt crossed the age limit (hope so) then you are eligible for it.

But the second problem that arises is 'vaicose veins' for which you have liable to reject.

as it is mentioned in the medical fitness chart of defence"that he/she does not suffer from hydrocele varicose veins or piles" therefore you are not medically fit,so,you are not eligible for.

dont be dishearted

Sorry friend as far as armed forces are concerned they are very particular about the physical fitness so its not possible to join armed forces but since you have four experience in computer field and networking there are lots of chances to get placed in the software industries so do well.

All the best.

yes you can apply for armes force in IT field but as you yourself told that you are not medically fit for it so you cant go for it,i suggest you to concern to some doctor and try to get a treatment for that and then apply for it.

The aptitude for service is tested at the time of selection for each of the branches. Special emphasis is laid on physical fitness, personal discipline and commitment. The services include in this cluster are for those who are looking for a secure, disciplined lifestyle, adventuresome, challenging and are aware of their commitment to the nation.

physical fitness is more important.
