a B.tech degree holder can join defence but firstly he has to give the exam of CDS which is conducted by UPSC.
Minimum qualification is graduation or B.tech
age limit-19-23. 3 years relaxation for OBC and 5 years relaxation for SC candidates.
But If you have short eyesight is 2.5,then you are got out in medical.
It is necessary that the employment news is followed by you because all the notificationsare given in that news.
