You can appear for NDA exam after XII with science stream. If you crack NDA, you can join Indian Navy. All the best.

Hello Shivam, For becoming officer in Indian Navy, you have to clear UPSC exam for admission in NDA. Here based on your merit, you can select either Army or Navy or IAF. After completion of three years' course, you will join Naval Academy as cadet and at passing out you become naval officer.
