You can join Army after class 10th, after class 12th and after graduation. For joining army after class 10th, you should be at least 16 years old and should be a good athlete. On the basis of class 10th, you can join Army as a Sipahi. After class 12th also you can join Army, and there will be two options for you to join army. First, you can join army as a Sipahi
Second, you can join army as an officer. Joining as sipahi will have the same procedure, as I told above but for joining army as an officer, you need to clear NDA exam. NDA stands for National Defence Academy. For NDA exams, your GK has to be strong, current affairs, reasoning & maths for the written exam. But besides GK, your Maths should be very strong as there will be separate paper for the Mathematics. For SSB interview overall personality development is required. You must focus on extempore, Group discussion, physical strengthening and other psychological tests as required for SSB interview.
