Hi friend,
There no neccesary to have minimum 60% in graduation. The minimum qualification to join in army force is 12th class passed. So, don't worry you can join in army. All the best.

Is there any exams conducted by the specific branches of armed forces solely to get into that branch(eg. army, navy and air force) which does not involve to get an aggregate of 60%? please let me know. Thank you.
