To join Indian Army one has to crack CDS(Combined Defence Service) conducted by UPSC twice every year for an entry in to Indian Military Academy, Naval Academy, Air Force Academy and Officer,s Training Academy.

The age limit to join Indian Military Academy is 19 to 24 years with no upper age relaxation for any reserved candidate.

Apart from this the candidate must be an unmarried Indian male having either appear fro the final Graduation Degree exam or pass in any stream from a recognised University with good Physical and mental health.

So as an Arts Graduate you are only eligible to apply for Indian Army(IMA) and OTA of CDS.
