Hello,

If you want to join the Indian Navy , there are different ways depending on your qualification:

  • After 10+2 (PCM): You can apply for NDA (National Defence Academy) exam conducted by UPSC. After selection, you will be trained and then join as an officer.

  • After 10+2 (with PCM & English, min 60%): You can apply for 10+2 B.Tech entry (direct SSB interview if shortlisted).

  • After Graduation: You can apply through CDS exam (UPSC) or Direct entries like INET, NCC entry etc.

  • For Sailors (after 10+2): You can apply for SSR/AA or MR posts depending on your subjects.

Start preparing well in advance. Focus on academics, physical fitness and SSB interview skills.

Hope it helps !

Yes, you can definitely join the Indian Navy if it is your dream! There are multiple entry routes based on your age, education, and interests. Here are some common pathways:

  • Navy SSR (Senior Secondary Recruit) : For candidates who have completed 10+2 with Science (Physics, Chemistry, Maths).

  • Navy MR (Matric Recruit) : For candidates who have completed 10th standard.

  • Graduate Entry : If you have completed a bachelor's degree, you can apply for programs like the Short Service Commission (SSC) Officer or the University Entry Scheme.

  • Navy Cadet Entry : After 12th or graduation, through NDA, CDS, or technical entry schemes.

  • Navy Officer Entry : Through NDA (after 12th) or CDS (after graduation).

You will need to clear physical fitness tests, written competitive exams, and interviews depending on the entry scheme.

If interested, start preparing for the eligibility exams (like NDA or CDS) and physical standards. Get guidance from official Navy recruitment websites and coaching if possible.
