Dear Himanshi, there are following options for you to join defense after your BA defence and strategic studies:

1. UPSC Entry- Here you can enter by Short Service Commision Women (Non-Technical) Entry Scheme. You have to clear CDS, followed by SSB. 12 women are selected every six months for the beginning of training based on the merit list. The training is of 49 weeks held at OTA Chennai beginning every April and October.
2. Non-UPSC Entry- In Non-UPSC entries, there are two entries: NCC Special Entry and JAG Entry, both of which are Short Service Commission and for Women. NCC ‘C’ certificate is compulsory. There is no need to attend any CEE for this entry except for a minimum of 50% in graduation with a valid NCC ‘C’ certificate with minimum ‘B’ grade Shortlisted candidates will be called for SSB. 4  women are selected from the merit list to undergo training at OTA Chennai. The training is of 49 weeks held at OTA Chennai beginning every April and October.
3. Rest are Tech and Law streams, which does not match up with your educational requirement.

I hope this helps you!

Dear Aspirant,

It seems that you are asking for B.A in defence and strategic studies.

So the eligibility for this course is 10+2 pass with 50% in any stream from recognised education board

So the as per the eligibility maths is not the mandatory subject. Even you have not studied maths then also you are eligible for this course

Hope this helps

hi,

see the eligibility criteria for b.a in defence and strategic studies is candidates must pass 10+2 course from  a recognized university , qualifying marks criteria may differ college to college, now you may know that due to corona pandemic many of the board exam of 12th including cbse has postponed, so thats why college admission process may delayed, I suggest you to regularly check the official website and follow careers360 for latest updates .

Mahesh, admission to B.A Defense and Strategies depends on the Institution or College that you are enquiring about. Few Colleges conduct admissions based on Entrance exam conducted at University level. In these cases, 50% and above will be enough because you will be selected based on the marks scored in the entrance examination. But few Institutions might conduct admissions based on merit scored in your 12th. Then you might need more than 60% based on your Category.
