Hi, I am a commerce student, but after +2 I must decide my profession. Now, I am studying in polytechnic. How to apply in navy for officer post. Anybody have some advice? My question is: how can I apply for Indian Navy being a commerce stream student? I am studying in diploma course of Electrical and Electronic in college of polytechnic. Please help me.

After completion of intermediate in commerce you cannot join Indian Navy as after 12th only science stream students are eligible for NDA exam. But you can join Navy after completion of your graduation through CDS exam which is conducted by UPSC. You can apply for short term service in the Navy. For more information you can go to the official website of UPSC or Indian Navy. Thanks

After 10+2, one can join Indian Navy through NDA exam.

Eligibility criteria to join Indian Navy through NDA exam are as under :-

Qualification : 10+2 with Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics.

Age limit : 16.5 to 19.5 years.

So, as per above mentioned eligibility criteria, you are not eligible for Indian Navy.

No, you are not eligible to appear for the recruitment as officer in Indian Navy after 12th with polytechnic or 12th with commerce stream.

As you are a student of commerce stream, so you are not eligible to join Indian Navy as an officer. In order to become an officer in Indian Navy you should have taken Physics and Mathematics as your subjects in your 12th standard.
