The Indian Armed Forces have set up numerous military academies across India for training its personnel. The three branches of the Indian Armed Forces jointly operate several institutions such as the National Defence Academy (NDA), Indian Military Academy etc. for training its officers. Services Selection Board (SSB) takes care of the selection process of officers in Indian Armed Forces.
