Re: Age limit and required qualification to join Indian Army?

Hello ,

To be part of the Indian Army, you can either apply after qualifying +2 level of exam or after completion of your bachelors degree program.

If you have qualified +2 level of exam and you are within the age limit of 16 1/2 years- 19 years, you may apply for the NDA exam conducted by the union public service commission.

If you are a graduate within the age limit of 19-24 years, you may apply for the combined defense service exam conducted by union public service commission.

So, depending upon your qualification, you may appear for any of the examinations to join the Indian Army.

Thank you

For joining in Indian Army there are two usual ways people choose. They are

1. NDA:- NDA can be expanded as National Defense Academy exam conducted by UPSC. This exam is conducted twice a year. And this exam acts as an entrance exam for choosing people for joining in Indian Defense Services. To appear in this exam and join in Army through this your age must be above 16.5years and below 19years. You must have completed your 12th std from a recognized board.

2. CDS:- CDS can be expanded as Combined Defense Service exam conducted by UPSC. This exam is conducted twice a year. And this exam acts as an entrance exam for choosing people for joining in Indian Defense Services. To appear in this exam and join in Army through this your age must be above 19years and below 23years. You must have completed your graduation from a recognized university.

There are also some other mode of entries like University Entry Scheme, NCC entry etc. Thus you can join in Army through any mode but your age must be below 25years.
