One can be a part of Indian Air Force on the basis of graduation degree. MBA degree will help to provide some relaxation in age to get into ground duty of IAF.

One can be a part of Indian Army through CDS examination and their age criterion is 25 years old only. It is a graduate level examination, which is organized by UPSC twice in a year.

This exam consists of 3 sections-

1) Mathematics
2) English
3) General Knowledge

You can join Indian Air force as a part of fighting force as well as in technical branch also. But as you have done MBA, so you will not be allowed to become a pilot as its upper age is only 23 years.

For fighting forces one can enter through-

1) CDS examination
2) SSC (Short Service Commission)

For technical Branch, you can enter through-

1) CET
2) EKT
3) AFCAT

CDS exam is usually carried out in February and in September.
So keep a closed watch on employment newspaper of 2 months prior.
For air force, the paper of ground duty is out twice in a year around April and in October. So keep on checking newspaper and official site of both.
