Indian Army is the dream of many youths. Candidates in our nation have a true desire to serve in Indian Army on the field, protecting the nation and even sacrificing their lives.
We have known and heard an endless number of stories of patriotism. Of course, this comes with a price, not money. But hard work, determination, and persistence theoretically as well as physically. To enter an Indian military academy you have to attain a certain level of fitness. Usually, cracking theoretical exams are much easier than passing a physical exam, because of lack of training or a proper amount of workout.
The majority of the selected candidates, particularly those hailing from urban areas, are in poor physical condition on joining the Academy, as a consequence of which they find it difficult to cope up with the training routine of the Indian Army.
Inadequate physical fitness would lead in a negative way. Which might impact you physically, mentally too. This is the reason candidates are supposed to and even advised to keep themselves in a good physical state, by following the fitness regime daily, without skipping.
