Sir, my self Sunil kumar sahoo. I am 18 years old. My height is 5 feet 4 inches. My life is only for indian army. So how can i apply for indian army in clerical post?

If you wish to apply for Clerical post in Indian Army then you have to appear for NDA exam conducted by UPSC.

Union Public Service Commission (UPSC) conducts NDA exam twice a year in order to recruit personnel in different wings of Indian Army.

NDA stands for National Defense Academy which is divided into three wings;

Indian Military Academy.

Indian Naval Academy.

Indian Air Force Academy.

Eligibility criteria for NDA exam are as under :-

-The candidate must have passed 10+2 for Indian Military Academy and 10+2 with Physics,Chemistry and Mathematics for Indian Naval Academy and Indian Air Force Academy.

-The candidate must be an Indian.

-The candidate must be in between 16.5 years to 19 years.

-Only unmarried male candidate can sit for NDA exam.

-Selection process involves of written examination followed by personal interview by SSB.

Physical requirements needed to apply for NDA exam :

Height : Must not be less than 157.5 cms.

Weight : should be in proportionate with height.

Chest: Must not be less than 81 cms with a minimum expansion of 5 cms.

Eye Sight : 6/6 in both eyes .

First and fore most thing I would like to say is actually there are various ranks in Defense whether it is Indian Army or any wing. But you should have required qualification for it. To get a job in Indian Army you need to write any exam conducted by UPSC.

>> NDA

>> CDS

Either of the exam will allow you into the Indian Army. But before you should see your educational qualification for it. For NDA, you must have completed 12 with MPC from the recognized university.

Only Unmarried Male candidates having age in between 16 1/2 to 19 years are eligible.

For CDS you should have completed graduation from the recognized university. Age should be " 19 to 23 years " .

Both Male and female candidates are eligible for CDS.
