To join Indian Army, you must have completed at least 12th standard from a recognized board to be eligible for appearing defence exams.

As you had not completed even 10th standard, so you won't be able to appear for defence exams like NDA, TES 10+2, etc.

So, better you complete 10+2 standard from a recognized Board then appear for these defence exams. Also, the age limit for these exams is 16.5 to 19 years.

You do not have the minimum required educational qualification to join Indian Army through various procedure.

So, you are not eligible to join Indian Army without having atleast matric qualification.

No, Interested candidates must be between 19 to 24 years of age and should be unmarried. Candidates who clear the written exam will be called for an interview with the Service Selection Board. Successful candidates will undergo training as Gentleman Cadets for 1 year and 5 months at Indian Military Academy.
