    Questions related to NDA

    On Question asked by student community

    Have a question related to NDA ?

    Hello Student,

    Whether you can apply for NDA 1 2027 depends on your exact date of birth, not only your age on 13 February 2027. Please tell me your date of birth (DD/MM/YYYY). Then I can check your eligibility for NDA 1 2027 accurately.

    Best Wishes for NDA preparation!

    Hey there,

    If you have PCB (Physics, Chemistry, Biology) and want to join the Indian Air Force through NDA, you face an important eligibility issue: for the NDA Air Force/Naval wings, Physics and Mathematics in Class 12 are required. PCB without Mathematics is not eligible for the Air Force wing.

    The eligibility isn't calculated on the exam date — it's calculated as on the age-cutoff date UPSC sets for course commencement, which is 1st July of the following year for NDA II. That's why your own math (18 years 10 months) doesn't line up with how UPSC actually calculates it.
