Re: Am I eligible to join Army being a candidate pursuing B.Com with Maths and with an age of 19 years? Hi friend... Its really nice that even being a girl,you are interested to join Indian Army which most of the girls even don't think of. As a girl,though you are not eligible for NDA but there is no need to worry because the Girls can join INDIAN ARMY through other entries called · CDS(Common Defence Services) · TGC(Technical Graduate Course) · AFMC(Armed Forced Medical College) The Girls after clearing the CDS exam will join OTA for the Training and After clearing the AFMC,Girls have to join AFMC,pune. The Girls can also be a pilot in INDIAN AIR FORCE. So friend you must first complete graduation in any stream to join INDIAN ARMY through OTA and after clearing CDS exam and SSB you will be called for the admission. Now,let me introduce you about CDS:- CDS stands for Combined Defence Academy and the exam for CDS is conducted by UPSC (Union Public Service Commission) twice a year. Through CDS,you can go for:- 1.Air force Academy. 2.Navy Academy. 3.Officer Training Academy. 4.Indian Military Academy. There is an age limit for CDS. I am specifying it below:- 1.Air force Academy.- 19 to 23 years. 2.Navy Academy.- 19 to 22 years. 3.Officer Training Academy.- 19 to 25 years. 4.Indian Military Academy.- 19 to 24 years. Educational qualifiationrequired are:- For Indian Military Academy/Officer's Training Academy:- You have to complete your Graduation in any discipline from a recognized University, Final year appearing candidates are also eligible for this examination. For Naval and Air force Academy:- You have to complete your Graduate degree course with Maths and Physics as a compulsory subjects or you must have complete your Engineering degree course from a recognized University . After you qualify the written examination,you will be called for an interview and medical test. The next CDS (II) exam is going to be held on 16th September,2012. The last date of receipt of applications is 27 August,2012. But,since you can't appear for the exam this time,prepare well for the next exam. If you want to get any detailed information,you can visit the official website of UPSC i.e, www.upsc.gov.in. Best of luck. Thanks. [SIZE=3] [/SIZE] |
