Subject: Joining the Army after class XII
Date: 22-Feb-2002
Question: Dear Sir/Madam,
I am studying in class X from N O S . After doing 12th I want to
join the army but I am confused about the money. So can you please
help me
Answer: Entry in the Army is possible by giving the NDA entrance exam after 12th or by giving the CDS exam after graduation. After clearing any of these exams (NDA in your case) and graduating from the Defence Academy you enter the army as a commissioned officer with quite a
attractive pay package i.e. anywhere between 10,000 to 15,000 for a junior commissioned officer.
