    Yes, definitely women are allowed in Army as an officer only. There are various entries for that as well. Refer www.ssbcrack.com.

    The Indian Army does employ women into the forces as a lot has changed over the years. Since 1992, when the Army opened its doors to women, their numbers have only grown. In 1992, 1,803 candidates applied for 50 vacancies. The Army had the luxury of screening 36 applicants for each vacancy.
    In 2005, the figure shot up to 150 applicants per vacancy. The numbers have seen a steady increase. Ninety three lady officers enrolled in 2010, 166 the following year. In 22 years, their strength has grown from 50 to 1300.
    So, if you have an interest in joining the Indian Armed Forces, the doors are open to you.
