Can I join the Indian Army at 19 after studying 1st Year Commerce in Khopoli, Maharashtra?

Ans: Hello
Since you have already joined college I assume you will like to finish your commerce degree before exploring career in Army. In the final year of your Degree you will have the option of applying in CDS (Combined Defence Services Exam) that will pave the way for you to join Army.
