AGE LIMIT: -

Your age should be in the age group of-

19 to 24 years for Army.

19 to 23 years for Air-Force.

You should have a Graduate degree in any discipline from a recognized institute.

For I.M.A. and Officers’ Training Academy : Degree of a recognized University or equivalent.


For Indian Naval Academy : Degree in Engineering for CDSE and Degree in Engineering or B.Sc. ( with Physics or Mathematics ) for NCC entry.
