In my HTML form there are 5 check boxes. How can I check which check boxes are checked or not at the time of the form submission?

I am using this little piece of code. Feel free to take it.
In your controller:
$scope.sentinel = [];
$scope.toggleSelection = function(value) {
// Bit trick, equivalent to "contains"
if (~$scope.sentinel.indexOf(value)) {
var idx = $scope.sentinel.indexOf(value);
$scope.sentinel.splice(idx, 1);
return;
}
$scope.sentinel.push(value);
};
Then in your HTML:
<span ng-repeat="key in $scope.yourarray">
<md-checkbox style="margin-left:30px;" aria-label="Select item"
ng-click="toggleSelection(key)"><span>{{ key }}</span></md-checkbox>
<br/>
</span>
This allows you to have an array of any size and using the sentinel array to register already checked values. If you check again a box, the toogleSelection will prevent you from adding again a value.

You can use the Checklist-model of Angular.js. It is very useful:
var app = angular.module("app", ["checklist-model"]);
app.controller('Ctrl1', function($scope) {
$scope.roles = [
'guest',
'user',
'customer',
'admin'
];
$scope.user = {
roles: ['user']
};
$scope.checkAll = function() {
$scope.user.roles = angular.copy($scope.roles);
};
$scope.uncheckAll = function() {
$scope.user.roles = [];
};
$scope.checkFirst = function() {
$scope.user.roles.splice(0, $scope.user.roles.length);
$scope.user.roles.push('guest');
};
$scope.showCheckedOnes = function() {
var checkedBoxes = "";
for (var i = 0; i < $scope.user.roles.length; i++) {
checkedBoxes += $scope.user.roles[i] + " ";
}
alert(checkedBoxes);
};
});
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/angularjs/1.2.23/angular.min.js"></script>
<script src="https://vitalets.github.io/checklist-model/checklist-model.js"></script>
<div ng-app="app">
<div ng-controller="Ctrl1">
<label ng-repeat="role in roles">
<input type="checkbox" checklist-model="user.roles" checklist-value="role"> {{role}}
</label>
<div>
<div>
<button ng-click="checkAll()" style="margin-right: 10px">Check all</button>
<button ng-click="uncheckAll()" style="margin-right: 10px">Uncheck all</button>
<button ng-click="checkFirst()" style="margin-right: 10px">Check first</button>
<button ng-click="showCheckedOnes()" style="margin-right: 10px">Show checked ones</button>

Thank you for spending your valuable time for my question.
You can define the array value and map to html.
$scope.checkbox = [];
HTML
<input ng-model="checkbox[0] type="checkbox" />
<input ng-model="checkbox[1] type="checkbox" />
<input ng-model="checkbox[2] type="checkbox" />
<input ng-model="checkbox[4] type="checkbox" />
Or you can define checkbox as object and change checkbox[index] to checkbox[name].
