Indian Navy - 60 B.Tech Cadet Entry Online Form 2027

The Indian Navy's 10+2 B Tech Cadet Entry Scheme offers a prestigious pathway for eligible young men and women to join the Navy as Permanent Commissioned Officers in Technical branches. Selected candidates undergo a four-year B Tech degree programme at the Indian Naval Academy (INA), Ezhimala — one of India's most distinguished military training institutions. The course covers Mechanical Engineering and Electronics & Communication Engineering as the two primary streams, with seven candidates from Mechanical Engineering additionally streamed into B Tech in Naval Architecture and Shipbuilding at the Naval College of Engineering, Kochi, based on merit and academic performance during training. The B Tech degree is conferred by Jawaharlal Nehru University on successful completion. Candidates shortlisted through JEE (Main) 2026 All India Common Rank List are called for Service Selection Board interviews conducted at Bengaluru, Bhopal, Kolkata, and Visakhapatnam. The entire cost of training, including books, reading material, clothing, and messing, is borne by the Indian Navy. Commissioned officers are entitled to pay, allowances, group insurance, gratuity, and leave benefits as per government rules detailed on the official Navy recruitment portal.

Candidates must be Indian nationals fulfilling the nationality conditions laid down by the Government of India. Only unmarried men and women are eligible; any candidate who is married or marries during training will be discharged and required to refund the full cost of training including pay and allowances. Candidates must have passed the Senior Secondary Examination (10+2 pattern) or an equivalent examination from a recognised Board with at least 70% aggregate marks in Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics and at least 50% marks in English, either in Class X or Class XII. Candidates who have appeared for JEE (Main) 2026 (for B.E./B.Tech) are eligible to apply; shortlisting for SSB will be based on the JEE (Main) All India Common Rank List 2026 published by NTA. Candidates must enter their CRL rank in the application. All candidates recommended by the SSB must undergo medical examination applicable to the 10+2 B Tech entry, and there is no relaxation in medical standards on any grounds.
