The answer is yes.

If you show potential at the military academy, you may get spotted by the RAW Agency recruiters. Once you come under the radar of the recruiters, they keep close tabs on you.

Generally, an A-grade Officer from the Indian Armed Forces, Intelligence Agency, Police Service, and Administrative Services, etc., has a higher chance of getting recruited.
