Hello Aspirant,

>> Indian Military Academy - 19 to 24 years

>> Indian Naval Academy - 19 to 24 years

>> Air Force Academy - 20 to 24 years

>> Officers' Training Academy (Men) - 19 to 25 years

>> Officers Training Academy (Women, Non-Technical) - 19 to 25 years

Apart from the age criteria there are some other parameters upon which your eligibility will be determined like your educational qualification which goes like :-

**Indian Military Academy - Bachelor's Degree from a recognised University or equivalent institute

**Indian Naval Academy - Bachelor's Degree in Engineering from a recognised University/ College
