Yes you can join Indian Army even without completing your Class 12th but in that case you will be eligible for the post of tradesmen only for which you need to qualify their respective recruitment rally followed by Common Entrance Examination.

Also for your recruitment as tradesmen, you need to hold nationality of India along with your age lying within 17 years to 23.5 years. You must hold the physical fitness as per the service requirement norms.

Here I would also like to let you know that once you complete your Class 12th you will be eligible for your recruitment as commissioned officer through NDA entrance examination, JCOs ( Junior Commission Officers ), Soldier Clerk, etc. .
