hi!

As an Engineering graduate you can join the Indian Military Academy directly. you only need to attend the Service Selection Board interview. Age at the time of joining should be between 20-27 years

The physical standard requirements (height, weight, chest) for joining indian army vary from region to region.

The Minimum physical standards that have been laid down for different region can be known from this link:

hi,

As far as the height is concerned you need to have minimum height of 157cms. But there may be chances that they may get good candidates of same profile with good height, then preference will be given to them.
So you need to do some extra effort to get selected. You have to prove yourself better in other fields than others.

All the best...
