Hello Jay,

For a career in Navy you should apply for NDA exam which is conducted by Union Public Service Commission twice annually. To apply successfully for Naval services, you must have passed class 12 (10+2 scheme) with physics and mathematics as compulsory subjects. Alternately, you can also apply for CDS exam for Indian Naval Academy which requires Bachelor's Degree in Engineering as the minimum educational qualification. You can apply to either of them provided you fulfill all eligibility requirements.

All the Best!
