You can join army by qualifying NDA entrance exam. It is possible to join NDA while pursuing 12th or after completing the same. NDA exam is conducted by UPSC twice a year. Your age must be between 16 ½ and 19 years in order to apply. Only unmarried male candidates are eligible.

its really apreciable that you want to join army , but sory to say as you are a girl candidate you cannot enter in army by nda because the requirements of nda is :

1. must be a indian citizen
2.must be in age limit 16.5to 19
3.must be class 12th passed
4.must be unmarried male

you can try for university entry level or other exams to join army

Dear kahlon,

As you are a girl and currently in 11th standard with Biology as main subject. So after passing the 12th exam , you cannot join Indian Army.

This is because the quickest way through which students can join Indian Army or other wings of Indian Defense through the NDA Examination.

The NDA Examination is conducted twice every year in the months of April and August.

The NDA Exam conducted in the month of April is known as the NDA-I Exam whereas the exam conducted in the month of August is known as the NDA-II Exam.

The Union Public Service Commission conducts the NDA Exam every year passing which candidates can join any of the following wings :

* Indian Army

* Indian Navy

* Indian Air Force

I told you that you cannot join Indian Army after passing 12th because only Male candidates are allowed to appear for the NDA Exam.

As per the eligibility criteria set for the NDA Exam by the Union Public Service Commission , girl candidates cannot give the NDA Exam.

The Complete Eligibility Criteria Required for the NDA Exam are :

** The candidate must have passed 12th from any recognized board.

** Except Indian Army , for joining other wings , the candidates must have passed 12th with PCM.

** The age of the candidate must lie in between 16.5-19 years.

** The candidates get no relaxation in upper age no matter they belong to whichever category.

** Only unmarried male candidates can appear in the exam.

** Girl Candidates are not allowed to apply for the NDA Exam.

** The Candidate must be an Indian Citizen.

** The candidate must be mentally and physically fit.

So , if you have so much interest in joining the Indian Army , then the best way out is you should complete graduation first and then go for the Combined Defense Services [CDS] Exam.

This Exam is also conducted every year twice by the Union Public Service Commission for the selection of candidates in Indian Defense.

This is the information i have to the best of my knowledge regarding your query. Hope the information will help you to the extent you want.

Dear Friend

Its good to see that you are so much keen to join the Indian Army and I would really appreciate your devotion to serve for the defense and your country.

After 10+2 UPSC conducts National defense academy examinations for the selection of candidates who are interested in joining the three wings of defense :

>>Indian Army

>>Indian Navy

>>Indian Air force .

But as per rules and regulations of UPSC only unmarried male Indian candidates in the age limit of 16.5-19 years with minimum qualification as 10+2 passed or appearing is allowed to give the NDA exams.

In other words girls cannot give the NDA exams.So sorry but you are not eligible to join Indian army through NDA examination being a girl.

But there is nothing to worry as you have mentioned that you are quite interested in joining Army as your father is also an Army Officer ,you can go for the Combined defense services examinations.

This exam is also conducted twice every year by the UPSC.

Effective Guidelines for the CDS exam:

>>For this you will have to first complete your bachelor's degree in any of desired discipline .During your final year of bachelor's degree you will become eligible for the exam.

While pursuing your bachelor's degree ,you can join some of the good coaching institutes for better preparation of CDS exam:

>>Minerva academy

>>Disha academy

>>Olive Greens.

Try to make a habit of reading good newspapers and watching news channels so as to make a good grip over general knowledge as it is quite helpful in getting success in these exams.

>>Practice the previous years papers as much as possible.you can download from the site of UPSC that is www.upsc.gov.in

The age limit is 19-25 years.Both unmarried male and female candidates can apply for the exam.

Here is the examination pattern of CDS for you.
