    All three services have requirements of engineers. Army has dedicated three engineering Corps. Engineering corp are Corps of Engineers, Corps of Signals and the Corps of Electrical and Mechanical Engineers(Corps of EME). Indian Air force has two technical branches i.e. Aeronautical Engineering (Mechanical) and Aeronautical Engineering( Electronics). You can join Indian navy in technical branches such as Engineering General Service Officer, Submarine Engineer Officer, Naval Construction Officer and Naval Architecture Cadre of the Engineering Branch. As B Tech you can join Defense Services under University Entry scheme.

    Yes of course you can apply for defense services through CDS after graduation. Also it is not as difficult as NDA exam at 12th level. You will join as equal rank as NDA candidates, the only difference is CDS candidate are consider as the candidates who failed at 12th level and are not good as NDA candidate but it's your attitude and personality that will clear their doubt about your capabilities.

Many private universities and state-level government-aided colleges reserve a percentage of seats for direct admission based on Class 12th marks. A score of 80% is generally competitive enough for consideration for many popular branches.

Hi.

Dont worry you have so much time to score good marks.

follow some strategy 

  • Organic Chemistry: Focus on all the name reactions and their mechanisms. Write them down repeatedly until you remember them perfectly.
  • Physical Chemistry: Similar to physics, create a master list of all formulas from chapters like Solutions, Chemical Kinetics, and Electrochemistry. Practice applying these formulas to textbook problems.
  • Inorganic Chemistry: Read the textbook thoroughly for this part, focusing on trends and important points (e.g., p-block elements).

Hi.

No, you cannot take admission in SSCBS because maths is compulsory.

The main courses offered by SSCBS are:
  • BMS  (Bachelor of Management Studies)
  • BBA (FIA)  (Bachelor of Business Administration in Financial Investment Analysis)
  • B.Sc. (Hons) Computer Science 
For all these courses, passing Mathematics or Applied Mathematics in Class 12 is a compulsory eligibility requirement.
