Thanks for your kind responses!
But the max. age limit seems to be 25-26 years(as found in airforce website). I am already 25 now.
How should I prepare myself? Will there be any vacancies for experienced?
How to take this forward? Advice.

no arun there is no age relaxation in defence services except for war widows/kin, if you are above age for gen admin/engineers entry then you can try their education/legal/judicial entries where age, i assume is close to 30+years to make an entry, but you need to be qualified as a PG/LLB/LLM graduate and also need to clear a SSB.
