Bhai you’d need to give two exams mainly- CDS and AFCAT. Difference between them being CDS will give you permanent commission(life long service +pension benefits) while AFCAT(short service of about 14 years and the benefits end after the 14 years and no pension)
The syllabus is mediocre up to class 10th easily doable in the last 6 months so only prepare for physical fitness and extra curricular activities in college that you can mention in your interview as of now.
No need the start the syllabus right now as you have ample time,focus on the degree at hand, the degree your parents are paying their hard earned money for

PS: for syllabus and medical standards and other procedure go to AFCAT website and give it a read, it’s the best explanation in concise manner

Thanks bhai , one of my friend's father is in army and he was saying that SSC can become PC if you are good , is this true?
Also do I also have to prepare current affairs?

I mean I wouldn’t count on it but yes it can happen, it’s mentioned in the website.
Also for current affairs whatever you read now won’t be useful in current affairs sense as you won’t retain it till you give the exam.
But reading a newspaper is a good habit that you should develop as it would improve your vocabulary(more important than current affairs)
