Hi everyone, I am studying in 11th standard and I am interested to join Indian Navy. I have taken PCB stream, so how can I join Indian Navy? Please help me to know about this as soon as possible.

Candidates with Physics, Chemistry and Biology in std 12th are not eligible to appear for NDA or technical entry after 12th.

The required eligibility to apply for the examination is that candidate must have passed 12th in PCM as main paper.

So, you are not eligible for NAVY but eligible for Indian Army after qualifying in NDA examination .

If you opt for PCB group for your higher secondary school degree course then you will not be eligible for joining Indian Navy as an officer as for officer's entry in Indian Navy it is mandatory to have opted for Mathematics and Physics during Class 12th.
