August 2010, has been a phenomenal year for the Indian Armed Forces, especially for the serving women officers, for it is in this very month that the Central Government agreed to grant Permanent Commission to recruit women officers for 20-years, extendible thereafter as in the case of male officers, according to rank and performance.

So, now onwards women (like men) will have two options...enter through Short Service Commission or through Permanent Commission. Recruitment is through four military related academies... the National Defence Academy, Pune, Indian Military Academy, Dehradun, Indian Naval Academy, Ezhimala, Air Force Academy, Hyderabad and the Officers Training Academy, Chennai. Entry into these academies involves proper selection procedure (which includes UPSC conducted written examinations, SSB interviews, medical fitness tests and endurance tests, etc.). For detailed information visit the official sites of the Indian Army, Indian Air Force and Indian Navy as also the following link:
http://career.webindia123.com/career/options/asp/list_more.asp?cat_id=241&o_id=1&option=Career%20Op tions

As for the written examinations, etc. the services keep advertising their recruitment necessities from time to time in Employment news and other important dailies.

Dear friend,
eligibilty for navy/airforce is you should have science at 12th level with 50% marks in PCM.since you are doing BBA it is not clear whether you had sience at 12th level.if you have then you can apply for the entrance exam and if you clear you will be called for SSB.and girls also can apply for the navy.and there are non-technical fields also.so do not worry about that.
All The Best!!!

The advertisement for the air force and navy common entrance tests (they are two different tests) usually comes out in Mar/sept. Details of the application procedure and eligibility criteria will be there in the ad. You must have 60% for your degree. Final year students can also apply. The exam will have two parts. The first part will be of objective type questions in English and general knowledge. The second part will test you on your English writing skills.
Why wait for later, start preparing now. Read the papers and listen to the news. You will also get a lot of practice material on the net.

Hii...

Career in Indian navy/Air force is really bright for girls and boys both. One can join defence by giving the competition exam conducted by UPSC etc. Even vacancies are available for Non-Technical persons.

Eligibilty For Indian Army:

1. One should passed 12th in science stream.

2. Unmarried Female

3. Must be citizen of India.

But if you are graduate, you have more opportunities, you can apply for:

1. UPSC

2. OTA

3. CDS

As you have mentioned that you are pursuing graduation in BBA then its really compulsary that you must taken PCM subjects at 10+2 level.

Wish you all the very best.
