    Hello

    NO YOU CAN NOT JOIN INDIAN ARMY.

    The 12th qualification has only two options to get in to the army.
    NDA(National Defnse Academy),TES(Technical Entry Scheme)

    The NDA requires 10+2 passed with any stream for army but with the age limit of 16.5 to 19 years(at the time of commencement of the course)
    The TES requires 10+2 passed with having 70% minimum in physics,chemistry and mathematics,but with the age limit of 16.5 to 19.5 years(at the time of the commencement of the course)

    In both the entries you are not applicable.

    You can join army after graduation through CDSE,but as of now you are not applicable.

    Dear if you have only passed 12th class and have crossed your 20 years of age then you can not apply for any section of the UPSC board exam for defense sector because NDA sector requires age limit maximum is 19 years and minimum 16.5 years which you have crossed but qualification should be as 12th passed in any discipline from a recognized board and Combined Defense Service department requires age is 19-24 years which you have but also ask for a bachelor's degree in any discipline from a recognized university or final year pursuing category candidates are also eligible to apply for this examination

    Dear you are at the age of 20 years but if you join any bachelor's degree and start completing that then you can apply for 2015 combined defense service exam at the age of 23 years because final year pursuing candidates are also eligible to apply so that you should get profit of that and apply for examination but before that join any bachelor's degree course then apply

    All the best

    You are over age compared to your qualification.For 12th passed candidates to get into Defence services through NDA,age limit is 16.5-19years.If you want to get into Defence services,complete your graduation without any hassles and you will be eligible for Army as the age limit for Army is 19-24years for IMA and 19-25 for OTA through CDS exam.For the time being,complete your graduation.You can apply for CDS in the final year of your graduation and by calculation,your age will be under the limit for the CDS exam till then.The good thing is that you can have proper time to prepare for the exam both academically and Physically so that you need not repeat the exam and you can qualify in the 1st attempt itself.For more informations on CDS,check out the website of UPSC at upsc.gov.in

    As you are having only 12th class as academic criteria, you have to write NDA Exam to join army.

    but for this exam, the age should be 16 1/2 years to 19 years.

    your age is 20 years. in that case you are not eligible to write NDA Exam.

    therefore you are not eligible to join army also.

    you would have tried for this exam last year./

    then you are eligible.

    unfortunately you are not eligible now to join army.

    you can try in any other way which is possible.

    hi
    I am sorry to say but it is not possible for you to appear for the NDA exam at the age of 20 years.
    The reason being this, for giving the NDA exam, you need to be a 12th passed/appeared and your age should be in between 16.5-19 years.
    There is no relaxation given to any students, therefore it is not possible for you to appear for the NDA exam.
