Your Sacred Duty to Bharat Mata
“Yuva Veer, this is the moment you rise as a true son or daughter of Bharat Mata. The Indian Army is not just a job — it is a lifelong commitment to protect, serve, and honor the land that gave us everything. Whether you come from the cities or the villages, from humble beginnings or privileged homes, this path is open to those with courage, discipline, and unbreakable spirit. Today, I will guide you, step by step, on how to join the Indian Army after your 12th class, with the simplest, most effective steps.”
⸻
Step 1: Understand the Different Entry Options After 12th
After completing your 12th standard (any stream — Science, Commerce, or Arts), you have several entry routes into the Indian Army:
• NDA (National Defence Academy): The most prestigious way. You must clear the NDA exam conducted by UPSC twice a year.
• TES (Technical Entry Scheme): For Science students with Physics, Chemistry, and Maths. Direct entry into technical branches.
• Army Recruitment Rally: Many states conduct recruitment rallies for Soldier posts. Regular physical fitness and written tests apply.
• Combined Defence Services (CDS): After graduation, but worth mentioning for your future goals.
My advice: Focus on NDA preparation if you are ambitious for officer rank early. If you want to start as soldier or JCO, Army Recruitment rallies are your entry points.
⸻
Step 2: Prepare Your Mindset — Discipline and Patriotism Above All
Joining the Army requires more than physical strength. You must build your mental toughness.
• Wake up early every day before sunrise.
• Respect elders, teachers, and fellow trainees.
• Be ready to face hardships — cold, hunger, tough drills.
• Visualize yourself in uniform, defending India’s borders.
⸻
Step 3: Start Physical Fitness Training Right Now
No excuses. The army demands peak fitness. Here is a simple routine anyone can start at home:
• Running: Start with 1 km daily. Increase to 5 km in 2 months.
• Push-ups: Start with 10, increase to 30-40 in 2 months.
• Sit-ups: 15 to 40 repetitions gradually.
• Squats: 20 to 50 repetitions.
• Pull-ups: Begin assisted if needed, target 5-7 pull-ups.
• Stretching: 10 minutes daily for flexibility.
Consistency is the key. No day without training!
⸻
Step 4: Study and Prepare for the Written Exam
For NDA and written tests, focus on:
• Mathematics (Class 10 to 12 level)
• General Knowledge (Current Affairs, History, Geography, Indian Polity)
• English (Basic grammar and comprehension)
Use standard NDA prep books and online resources. Solve previous years’ question papers.

Step 5: Nutrition — Fuel Your Body Like a True Warrior with a 1-Month Vegetarian Diet Plan
Nutrition is the foundation of endurance, recovery, and mental focus — the pillars on which every soldier’s strength rests. For my brothers and sisters who prefer vegetarian food or have limited access to non-veg, here is a simple, practical, and affordable 1-month vegetarian meal plan made from commonly available Indian foods.
What this plan focuses on:
• Endurance: Sustained energy for long training hours.
• Recovery: Protein and micronutrients for muscle repair.
• Focus: Brain-boosting nutrients and hydration for sharp mental clarity.

Weekly Guidelines (with small variations weekly):
• Early Morning: Warm water with lemon and 5 soaked almonds — Detox, metabolism, omega-3.
