Hiiii Kaveri,

It's good that you want to serve your country.

If you are planning to join armed forces then you have many options. I am going to discuss few of these options here.

1) MNS( Military nursing service)after 12 :- You can join MNS after class 12 but you should have Sciences with biology as your compulsory subjects. You have to get through the written entrance exam, which is held in April every year. After you clear it then you go through a personal interview and if you pass through this then you finally go through a detailed medical examination. The result of all the three steps is then combined and candidates are selected accordingly. Then they are given a training for 3 years at different army nursing colleges India.

2) MNS after bsc nursing:- You can apply for this when you are done with your bsc nursing from any college across India. After the filling of application you get through all the steps mentioned above.

3) CDS (Combined defence services):- This is an exam for which you can apply after your graduation from any recognized university in any field. This exam is conducted by UPSC twice a year for recruitment in Indian military academy, officers training academy, indian naval academy and air force academy. There's a written exam which you need to clear. But if you hold C- certificate in NCC with 'A' or 'B' grade then a person do not have to give any exam.

Then you go through SSB and after the evaluation of every step a candidate is recruited and is sent on a training at various academies across India according to the cadre of the candidate.

These are few option for which you can seek to join defence forces.

I hope this answer will help.

All the best for the future!!
