The Indian armed forces offers a bright career for deserving youths in its officer cadre and also offers you aย  respectable position in the society.

Both these entry schemes are suited for young defense aspirants but getting recommended from SSB is the real job. So try to cultivate OLQโ€™s in yourself even before you go to SSB.
