Sir, I am a Gujarat board student and I have a duplicate marksheet of 10th std. Which is issued by Gujarat board by legal procedure. Can I apply for army?

On the basis of class 10th, you can apply for any soldier post in Indian army. There are not many options on the basis of class 10th. Gujarat board is a state board and mark sheet from it is valid for government jobs.

You can apply for soldier general duty in Indian army. Selection will be on the basis of written exam and physical fitness test.

No, you are not eligible to apply for Army after completion of your 10th standard from Gujarat Board. To join Army, you have to appear in NDA examination and the minimum qualification required is completion of 12th standard or an equivalent examination from a recognised board. Since, you have not passed 12th standard, being a 10th passed candidate, you are not eligible to apply for Army.
