Indian Navy women entry for female aspirants to join

Last Updated on July 31, 2023 by Vishnu Nambiar

Joining Indian Navy as an Officer is not a very easy task! But it is not an impossible task either! I’ve already written useful guides that explains how one may join Indian Navy as Officer after 12th Science, how to join Indian Navy as Officer after Engineering. This article is dedicated to female aspirants, who are passionate about joining Indian Navy. In this article, I will list different entry modes using which Indian women may join Navy! I will provide details such as- job post details, age limit, educational qualifications required, physical as well as medical standards required.

 

In case of female aspirants, the entry type permitted in the Indian Navy is the SSC (Short Service Commission) entry. In case of Branches like Education, Naval Architecture and Law, female Officers may be given Permanent Commission after they finish the duration of SSC period, depending upon number of vacancies, their performance and merit!
