Hi Yogesh,
All three are very different industries. I understand that you're confused but ultimately, it is you who will sort your interest and decide on a career path. To be a part of Navy, you can give the below exams:
1. NDA Entry: National Defence Academy is a tri-service academy, which is like a feeder institution for the Indian Naval Academy, Indian Military Academy and Air Force Academy. Joint training for a period of three years is carried out here, and then candidates are sent for one-year pre-commissioning training to their chosen academy. It an excellent opportunity for boys who have just passed out of class 12th to live their dream of working for the Indian Navy. NDA exam is conducted by UPSC twice every year.
2. CDSE Entry: Combined Defence Service Examination is an exam conducted by UPSC twice every year. CDSE is aimed to select officers for Indian Army, Navy and Air Force. While in Army both men and women can apply, only men can apply for Navy and Air Force. CDS is a written exam followed by SSB interview, and on being successful in that candidates are given the chosen force, based on their marks and available seats.
3. Graduate Direct Entries: These are the entries which require a minimum of graduation. These entries can be for the branches like IT, Logistics, Administration, Observer, Pilot, Education etc. Navy keeps on publishing advertisements for the same at different times of the year. The mode of entry is direct, based on graduation cut-off. Different branches may have different educational qualifications, as required by them.

There was a time, not so long ago, when most zoo directors came up through the ranks within the institution. These were often biologists or veterinarians who held various roles until they eventually rose to director after many years of service and leadership. To be sure, many current (and probably future) zoo directors took this route. However the times are changing.
Managing a zoo is an increasingly complex undertaking. Beyond overseeing a staff of hundreds, zoo directors are also tasked with leading international conservation efforts, overseeing enormous budgets and varied revenue streams (i.e. tickets, concessions, membership, gifts, events, municipal contributions, etc.) and launching multimillion dollar fundraising campaigns to build modern exhibits. They also have to manage a diverse group of stakeholders, including members, local government, conservationists, activists, donors (both corporate and individual) and their own employees. Just because you love animals, doesn't mean you'll love multiple weekly finance meetings about your zoo's operating budget :) Consequently many zoos and zoo boards are now looking for leaders with substantial general management experience in addition to a clear passion for and commitment to animal welfare and conservation.
Long story short, working your way up through a zoo is a fine option but so is building your leadership skills in a corporate or large non-profit environment. Just make sure you continue to learn about and contribute to the zoo world while you develop professionally elsewhere.
Finally if you truly want to be a zoo director, and this goes for many other zoo professions as well, be prepared to move wherever there is an opening. There are about 230 zoos and aquariums accredited by the Association of Zoos and Aquariums (AZA) in North America and most of these are not in major cities (think the opposite). Zoo directors often stay in their roles for many, many years so openings are limited. Many zoo directors in major cities were offered the role after doing an outstanding job at a smaller zoo somewhere relatively remote.
