Two common ways to be exempted from the draft in the United States historically included obtaining a deferment for educational purposes, allowing students to continue their studies without interruption, and qualifying for conscientious objector status, which is granted to individuals who oppose military service on moral or religious grounds. Additionally, individuals might be exempted due to medical reasons or if they were the primary caregiver for dependents.
People exempted from the draft had disabilities, such as poor eyesight or flat feet, as well as major handicaps like missing arms or paralysis. Mental disabilities were also taken into account, as well as age.
I suppose that depends on the country. The Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra was exempted from Military service in WWII. In the US you could be exempted for various reason, members of the US House and Senate were exempted from service, exemptions were granted to conscientious objectors, physical, mental or psychological reasons, ministers were exempted as were divinity students, exemptions were granted for certain occupation like miners, farmers, mariners and railway workers. You could obtain an exemption if you could prove to the Draft Board that it would be a hardship on your family and children or parents or if you were employed in some position that was essential to the government's needs. You could get a deferment to continue your education. All of these were subject to later review and could be changed at the whim of the Draft Board.

Initially, they were deferred from the draft while enrolled in college, but this changed in 1969 when the deferment policy ended and all men, including college students, became eligible for the draft. However, some college students were able to receive deferments based on certain circumstances, such as enrolling in specific programs or maintaining a certain GPA.
