Ways to become an officer from Soldier to General

Dear die hard aspirants here is an information that is known to a very few, a route that is difficult and less travelled
Is it really possible to become a General by joining  Army as a Soldier?
The Answer is YES
If there is a will, there is a way.
To become an officer by joining the ranks (i.e as a Soldier/ Sailor / Airmen / Navik / Constable or whatever is the lowest cadre in which one joins the forces) is time-consuming and very challenging.
At the outset, I would like to tell you it is difficult, requires a lot of Hard work, dedication and perseveration.If you are prepared to take up this journey, then here is the way:-
How to Start?
The best way is to get into forces via, NDA / 10 + 2 Tech entry straight after +2. But, the catch is the UPSC written exam, JEE even the +2 Board Exam is difficult unless you have a privilege of being educated in Good institution and you are able to take coaching, it would be difficult,
Let us assume, you are a mediocre student and is average in studies then the easier way is to join the forces at the lowest level.
Let us start our journey from Soldier to General:-
During Class X : Here the student if he is good in Science Subjects, must take up Physics, Chemistry and Mathematics as the main group and qualify in class XII
Now the age limit to become a Solider ( or whatever lowest rank is) From 17 years to 23 years. (The earlier is the better) Once you have decided then start building your stamina to achieve the following standard:-

Test No:	Event	Standard	Remarks
1:	Running	1.6 Km under 5 min 45 Seconds	Excellent Timings
2:	Pull Ups	12 Times	Excellent Timings
3:	Push Ups/ Sit Ups	35	Excellent Timings
4:	9 Feet Jump	Long jumps 10 feet +	Excellent Timings

Note: To join as Sub-inspector of Police in Central Police Organisation the Physical standards are different
The height, weight and Chest measurements are different
Once a candidate is able to get selected in Physical Tests, he now moves on to Mental Ability Tests.
There are two different entries, 1. Technical Entry, 2. Non- Technical entry
For Technical entry, one should have
studied science subjects in class XII
For Non-Technical Entry one can have non-science background in class XII
