Yes, you can still appear for the NDA 2 exam even if you mistakenly selected General (Unreserved) instead of OBC in your form.

The NDA (National Defense Academy) exam has an age limit of 16.5 to 19.5 years at the time of joining. Since you were born on June 3, 2007, let's calculate your attempts:

Upcoming NDA Attempts for You

2.    NDA 2, 2025 (September) → Eligible

3.    NDA 1, 2026 (April) → Eligible

4.    NDA 2, 2026 (September) → Eligible

5.    NDA 1, 2027 (April) → Eligible

6.    NDA 2, 2027 (September) → Last Attempt (You will be 20 in June 2027, but eligibility is checked on July 1, 2027, so you are still eligible.)

Total Attempts: 6

You have six attempts for NDA, starting from NDA 1, 2025, until NDA 2, 2027. Make sure to prepare well!

NDA is conducted two times in a year and consists of two stages, written exam followed by SSB interview for selection into any one of the three armed forces.

As for the age limit prescribed by NDA i.e between 16.5 years and 19.5 years and your date of birth, you are eligible for both the NDA sessions of April 13, 2025 and September 14 2025 as your age being less than 19.5 years .

Hello Prince,

To prepare well for SSC CGL Exam, the most essential step is to understand syllabus. Which has following four parts:

1. General Intelligence and reasoning

2. Quantitative Aptitude

3. English

4. General Awareness

Then go through at least last 5 years PYQs. From that you will get to know the main areas of focus and the areas which has been given high weightage in exam from each part.

Based on this divide each part of syllabus into subtopic. And prepare each topic thoroughly through your base sources. Have command over your basics from these sources.

I would like to share some of the resources you may refer to for your preparation

1. For English: Neetu Singh Mam's book

2. For Quantitative aptitude: Aditya Rajan Sir's Videos on YouTube

3. For General Awareness:  Lucent's GK + Parcham Classes's Videos on YouTube.

Along with this you need to practice PYQs and give various mock tests to increase your efficiency. You may take a help of various platforms available online for practicing mock tests. Only practicing mock tests is not enough you need to analyze your performance in each mock test.

I hope this answers your query and will definitely help you in your preparation
