The Answer is YES
If there is a will, there is a way.
To become an officer by joining in the ranks (i.e as a Soldier/ Sailor / Airmen / Navik / Constable or whatever is the lowest cadre in which one joins the forces) is time consuming and very challenging.
At the outset, I would like to tell you it is difficult, requires a lot of Hard work, dedication and persevaration.If you are prepared to take up this journey, then here is the way:-
How to Start?
The best way is to get into forces via, NDA / 10 + 2 Tech entry straight after +2. But, the catch is the UPSC written exam, JEE even the +2 Board Exam is difficult unless you have a previlage of being educated in Good institution and you are able to take coaching, it would be difficult,
Let us assume, you are a mediocre student and is average in studies then the easier way is to join the forces at the lowest level.
Let us start our journey from Soldier to General:-
During Class X : Here the student if he is good in Science Subjects, must take up Physics, Chemistry and Mathematics as the main group and qualify in class XII
Now the age limit to become a Solider ( or whatever lowest rank is) From 17 years to 23 years. (The earlier is the better) Once you have decided then start building your stamina to achieve the following standard:-
