The minimum height varies for various posts and also there is relaxation available for candidates who belong to hill or mountains or even wards of Indian Army or any defense forces. For soldier posts, then minimum height required is 169 cm. Hence, you can't apply for such posts.
You can try for officers posts or any other tradesman job in Indian Army for which your height is fine. Selection will be based on the performance in written exam and physical fitness test or SSB interview according to the post. |

First thing I would like to know you that to be an officer in Indian Army you have to options which are as mentioned below :-
a) Recruitment through NDA ( National Defense Academy ) for which you will have to qualify NDA entrance examination for which you need to be an unmarried Indian male candiate with your age lying within 16.5 years to 19.5 years. Also you need to be a higher secondary school degree in any discipline from a recognized board. b) Recruitment through CDS ( Combined Defense Services ) for which you will need to qualify CDS entrance examination for which you need to be an Indian citizen with your age lying within 19 years to 24 years.
