    hi
    you cannot join the indian army on the basis of your civil services score card or result.
    For getting into the indian army, you have to give the different exams conducted by the upsc.
    NDA is the exam which is conducted for joining the indian army after the completion of your school education. The maximum age to give this exam is 19 years.
    CDS is another exam which is also taken by the upsc and for giving this exam, you should be a graduate and the maximum age to give this exam is 24 years
