Sir I am 19, studying in first year of college, commerce in Khopoli, Maharashtra. I was a part of NCC in my school days. How can I join the Indian army?

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. CDS is conducted by UPSC twice a year (notifications come out in Jun/Jul & Dec/Jan in leading newspapers. CDS entails a written exam followed by SSB interview. Age limit is 20-27 years. You will have the option of joining Army in permanent or short service commission as per your choice followed by merit in exam. Main preparation needed is for SSB interview.
Best of Luck !!
