No, you are not eligible for any post in Indian Army after failing in standard tenth. Candidates who have passed in tenth standard can apply for posts like Driver, Cook etc in Indian Army. But there is no chance for failed candidates.

You should reappear for board exam of tenth and pass to become eligible for jobs in Indian Army. NDA examination is conducted at 12th level for better jobs in Defence. The age limit is 16.5-9.5 years. You can do 12th and then apply for NDA exam.

To join Army being a 10th failed candidate, you need to qualify 10th standard by appearing in supplementary examinations and after that, you need to pursue 11th and 12th standard from a recognised board.
