For any defense services they have some casual entries like NDA , CDS, AFCAT
so you can apply for any of the tests but NDA can be applied in 1st year other are after graduation courses.

No you are not eligible for the NDA examination conducted by the UPSC twice in a year .The basic eligibilty criteria is :-

* Candidates who have passed the +2 board examination from a recognised board .

* The age of the candidates must be 16.5- 19 years old .

* Candidated must have Physics , Mathematics and English as main paper or Commerce stream students having mathematics as main subjects are also eligible .

The examination is conducted in two parts -
*Written .
*SSB .

So you have to wait for your B.tech degree to apply for CDS and AFCAT .

As you DOB is 17/01/1996 ,you are not eligible to apply for NDA examination because your DOB doesn't lie in required duration which is going to held in month of September this year.
But don't you loose hope,there is another way possible to join Armed Forces .
After completing your B.Tech degree you need if you will get required percentage in B.Tech, to apply a form which just need to clear SSB interview then you will get chance to join Armed Forces.

Labor hard ,don't think of past ,make your own path in future to get success.
