The Indian Navy's 10+2 (TES) Technical Entry Scheme allows male and female candidates with a Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics (PCM) background to enter the Indian Naval Academy directly after completing 10+2 education, receiving sponsored engineering education and military training, leading to a permanent commission as a naval officer without needing a prior written exam but requiring a strong JEE Main rank for shortlisting and a 5-day SSB (Services Selection Board) interview for selection.
