How to Join the Indian Army after the 12th Class?

 

The Indian Army has always been a top choice of Aspirants and that is why it should not be. The Indian Army has much to offer, from an olive-green uniform to an adventurous life. The Indian Army offers a way of life that cannot be lived in any other profession. The Indian Army has been so popular that every year millions of Aspirants apply for Agniveer and Officer Cadre in Indian Army, but only a few lucky ones are selected. But despite these failures, youth in India continue to aspire to join the Indian Army.

 

Why join the Indian Army as an Agniveer or as an Officer?

 

• The Indian Army’s motto is ‘service before self’. Every soldier and officer of the Indian Army follows and continues to safeguard our country from multiple dangers. The Indian Army is one of the best platforms to serve our country.

 

• The Indian Army is one of the most respected professions in India. The Indian Army is respected by little Kids to old people. Soldiers and Officers in the Indian Army are respected for their sacrifice and dedication towards the nation.
