For any other academic studies program, you must begin within 18 months of your arrival to Israel and you have 3 years to complete studies. Once you complete your studies, if the army places you in a position that is relevant to your field of studies, you may be required to serve for up to 5 years. According to the army\u2019s decision, during the last 2-3 of these years of your service, you will receive Keva (a higher army salary).
