Hi,
As you are a commerce student you can only join Indian army because in order to join Indian navy and air force you have to complete your 10+2 with physics and mathematics paper. As per my knowledge is concerned it is better to join NDA and then IMA.NDA stands for national defense academy this exam is conducted by upsc twice a year then after that you can join IMA .
IMA stands for indian military academy.The eligibility criteria for the NDA exam is:-
you should be a citizen of india
you should be free from any disease
your eye sight should be 6/6 or 6/9
you should have complete your 10+2 from recommended university
your age should be in between 16.5-19
your height should be in between 157cm
you should be mentally physically strong
The eligibility criteria for indian navy and air force is same but only science student can join this.
Hope this helps. All the best.

Hi Sam,
The CFA course has main focus on financial markets, financial statement analysis, Equity analysis and valuation, portfolio management and mutual funds. The course enables one to branch out to financial services and banking sectors. CFA is more perceived as a course aimed towards corporate finance and financial investments. The candidates who successfully pass the grueling course work of CFA, conducted by the Institute of Chartered Financial Analysts of India, suited for portfolio management of any financial company, corporate finance and international financial management and the related exposure management. A qualified CFA candidate can work become either a financial analyst or an independent investment consultant. However, we feel that CFA will be most profitable in combination with some other degree. Maybe, a CFA along with an MBA will have more opportunities in this industry. A two-year CFA/MBA integrated program is being offered by ICFAI institutes in various cities.

Clinton, I am not sure how good you are with maths and programming. If you are, then you must pick up Programming and take a language whether PHP/ HTML5 (web dev), .Net (for software dev) Java/ Android (for apps) or C#/ Unity (for games). However like i mentioned, you must be good with programming to move ahead in this area since you have to compete with MCAs and BTech(CS) applicants. So choose your internship/ industrial training very carefully. Do not just go for the cheapest to save money. See the IT company's credentials on the net. for example if someone provide LIVE PROJECTS are they there near the TOP on PORTALS like JUSTDIAL? Or if the company is registered with STPI (Software Technology Parks of India) - all good IT companies are registered with STPI. If a company spends money to market themselves to customers, only then they are able to get LIVE PROJECTS. Also, if you are an average programmer, and if you you're better with creative work, then you can head for web design or even vfx/ animation since there is a huge requirement coming up in that domain. There is also an intermediate path in games design and development. Wish you the best for your career. Remember, your Career is a resultant of your knowledge combined with your passion and expression ability. If you like this answer you may select it as best answer or press like.
