AGE LIMIT:-

Your age should be in the age group of-

19 to 24 years for Army.

EDUCATIONAL QUALIFICATION:-

You should have a Graduate degree in any discipline from a recognized institute.

For I.M.A. and Officers’ Training Academy : Degree of a recognized University or equivalent.


For Indian Naval Academy : Degree in Engineering for CDSE and Degree in Engineering or B.Sc. ( with Physics or Mathematics ) for NCC entry.


For Air Force Academy : Degree of recognized University ( with Physics and Mathematics at 10+2 level ) or Bachelor of Engineering.
