Hello

To join the Indian Navy or Air Force after completing your 12th with Physics , Chemistry and Biology (PCB) , you need to focus on specific entrance exams and eligibility criteria for both branches .

you can explore options like the Indian Navy's NDA entry after completing a degree in Engineering or related fields . For the Indian Air Force , you may apply for Ground Duty or Technical Branches through AFCAT , which can be open to PCB students , but roles like Pilot require Physics and Mathematics in 12th . You will also need to meet medical and physical fitness standards , which may vary for PCD candidates . Keep checking  official recruitment notifications for specific eligibility details .

Dear Aspirant !


Hope you are doing well ! You can join the lower posts in army after pcb stream . By taking pcb many doors has closed for you to enter in your dream i.e. army ,navy . You can give the exam of airforce y group ,clear it and give interview to get into merit . Only this way is possible otherwise you cannot join because the eligibility for Air Force and Naval candidates should have passed 12th standard with Physics and Mathematics from State Education Board or a University. So you cannot join Air force or Navy because you have taken PCB group and Air force or Navy needs mathematics in 10+2 level.

Hello aspirant,

You stand a strong possibility of joining the military if you have a postgraduate degree and have experience with PCB. In particular, you can join the Air Force and Navy's Education branches with a postgraduate degree. A 60% grade in an M.Sc. in Chemistry with Physics included in your B.Sc. degree is one of the requirements for the Navy Education Branch. Through the AFCAT application, you can express interest in joining the Air Force's Education branch. Passing the 10+2 exam and earning a postgraduate degree with 50% in any field—including integrated courses that grant a postgraduate degree—as well as 60% in any field upon graduation are prerequisites for this.

Hello,

Here’s a guide to joining the Indian Navy or Air Force after completing 12th with a PCB background:

  1. Check Eligibility :

    • For Navy: Most roles require PCM; however, opportunities exist in non-technical branches like logistics and education.
    • For Air Force: Consider ground duty branches or medical roles.
  2. National Defence Academy (NDA) :

    • NDA primarily requires PCM for Navy and Air Force roles, but PCB students can apply for Army roles.
  3. Medical Officer Roles :

    • Pursue MBBS after 12th and apply for medical positions in the Armed Forces through AFMC (Armed Forces Medical College) or SSC (Short Service Commission).
  4. Graduate Entry :
