No, you are not eligible to join Indian Navy and Indian Air Force and after diploma degree from any recognised university.

To join the service you have to pursue the B.Tech or B.E degree from any recognised university and the examination is conducted as CDS by UPSC twice every year.

The age limit is 19-22 years for Navy and 19-23 years for Indian Air Force. For more information about examination visit at www.upsc.gov.in.

After completing diploma in mechanical engineering course you can join Indian Navy or Indian Airforce but, as your age is 20 years, so it will be a problem for you.

In order to join Indian Navy or Indian Airforce you have to fulfill the following eligibility criteria:
