If you want to wear army uniform in the future, then let us know which paths can take you to this point and which mistakes are important to be avoided.
There are many ways to become an officer in the Indian Army. The most prominent one is NDA i.e. National Defense Academy. This is for those students who want to join the army after 12th. Through this examination, candidates can become officers in Army, Air Force and Navy. After passing the examination, cadets are given three years of rigorous training at NDA based in Pune.
After this is CDS i.e. Combined Defense Services Examination. This is for graduate level candidates. The candidates passing this are sent for training in IMA (Indian Military Academy), Air Force Academy or Naval Academy.
Opportunities are open for women also. They can become officers in the army through SSC (Short Service Commission). Apart from this, candidates with technical background can also get entry into the Army as officers through TES (Technical Entry Scheme) or UES (University Entry Scheme).
