Dear Rushali,

Female are eligible to join Indian Navy only through the INET entrance exam, through CDS you can join Army only. There is one more option through which females can join Navy and that SSC tech entry where they call you on the merit basis of your BE/B.tech score for the SSB interview.

For INET you need to fulfil some eligibility criteria which is as follows.

• Your age should be between 19 to 24
• You need minimum 60% in both BE/B.tech degree and in your 12th with physics and maths as a compulsory subject.

If you are able to fulfill this criteria then you are eligible for the INET exam and you can join Indian Navy.

And if you don't have the B.tech degree then you can mention your degree name and I will provide you some alternatives and other possibilities.

Good Luck :)
