However, they have to pass their graduation first.

And then they can apply for CDS Exam through which they can be recruited in OTA i.e. Officers Training Academy.

Being a female candidate, you can join Navy after bachelor's degree through Combined Defence services exam conducted by UPSC every year two times. The age limit for Navy is 19-22 years.

There is no career options for girls in Indian Navy after 10th with 60% marks. At higher secondary level, UPSC conducts NDA/NA exam but for that also only unmarried male candidates are eligible.
