With the help of the Indian Year Book, learn about the various ranks of the Air Force, Army and Navy. Remember the names of the Chief of the Army Staff, Air Force and Navy. Questions on them are not readily asked but there had been a trend in eighties and nineties to ask about the various rank and armed forces heads.
