I will pass 5year integrated course in Law next year and i want to join in defence. So how can i join in defence, either in airforce or army?

Since 5 years integrated law course is considered as the bachelor degree course so to join Indian defense you will have to clear the CDS examination.

But you are not eligible for joining Indian Air force or Indian Navy two of the wings of CDS as for these only science stream graduate are eligible.

CDS stands for Combined Defense Services and the same examination is held by Union Public Service Commission twice every year and are called as CDS I & CDS II respectively.
