Questions related to NDA

Have a question related to NDA ?

I am in class 12th with pcb stream can I give nda exam in sep 2026 for joining army ?

Hello Aspirant,

Yes, you can appear for the NDA (National Defence Academy) exam in September 2026 to join the Indian Army, even if you are a Class 12 student with a PCB (Physics, Chemistry, Biology) stream. The Indian Army wing of NDA does not require Mathematics or Physics as mandatory subjects in Class 12, unlike the Navy and Air Force wings, which are only open to candidates with a PCM (Physics, Chemistry, Mathematics) background. As long as you are an Indian citizen, unmarried, and your age falls between 16.5 and 19.5 years as on the date specified in the 2026 notification (likely born between January 2, 2008, and July 1, 2011), you are eligible. You will still be required to attempt both papers in the NDA written exam—Mathematics and General Ability Test (GAT)—but selection into the Army wing mainly considers your overall merit. So, with the right preparation, especially for GAT and basic math, you can definitely aim for a career in the Indian Army through NDA.

All the best for your journey.

I am born on 24/12/2007 .Am I eligible for nda 2 2026 exam .

Sonakshi Kumari 04 July,2025

Dear Candidate ,
- For NDA 1 2026 , you are eligible since your birth date ( 24th Dec 2007 ) lies between 2 Jul 2007 and 1 Jul 2010 .
- For NDA 2 2026 , you are not eligible because the cutoff begins on 2 Jan 2008 .
Because UPSC requires candidates to be at least 16.5 and at most 19.5 years old on exam date ,

if filled wrong info in nda 2 form by mistake i cliked yes on that option which was like are you studing in sanik school and ward of jco or OR whichwassupposed to be no what shall i do ive mailed upsc but still no response from last 5days

Vasundhra 01 July,2025

Hello Aspirant,

If you erroneously marked "Yes" for the question about studying in Sainik School or being the ward of a JCO/OR in the NDA 2 form when the answer was "No", Since you already mailed about this here is what you can do:

Call UPSC to have it resolved quicker
Wait for correction window (if any) - UPSC sometimes provides correction windows but they do this infrequently. If they have not yet announced the correction window, keep checking their official website.
On exam day and at when SSB comes around, just be honest about what happened. In my past experience, as long as the mistake does not directly impact your eligibility or give you unjust advantage, they are usually okay to be sorted out during the document verification stage.

I have 6/18 in both eyes (uncorrected vision) and in the notification uncorrected vision allowance is 6/12 and my corrected vision is -1.0D spherical in both with falls right into limits of myopia. Am I eligible for NDA even though i didn't meet the requirements of uncorrected vision?

gopi 21 June,2025

Being 6/18 in both eyes, you may be able to take the job based on the recruitment medical standards of the recruiting authority particularly, the jobs in the defence services or the government sector.

Most medical standards have certain amounts of uncorrected deficiencies in vision when vision corrected (glasses, contacts) is of the expected standard. The specific allowance depends upon a service and a post.

When the notification explains uncorrected vision allowance, then it probably means that everyone whose vision is worse than normal, but can be corrected to meet the specified requirement, can be afforded.

In order to be sure:

Ensure to read the accuracy of vision standards and allowance as stated in the official notification.

Upon permission, make sure that you attain a legal eye prescription displaying corrected eyesight within a limit.

In case of doubts, a certified medical officer or ophthalmologist is to be consulted to provide a report on eye examination.

I am 22 may 2010 born..... a I'm in 2025 in class 11th ....... so next year where I will be studying in class 12th ..... So am I eligible for nda 1 2026 going to be held in April

hemanth kumar 16 June,2025

Hey! Because your birthday is on May 22, 2010, in 2025 you will be 15. And it is quite normal that at your age you are in Class 11. In 2026, youwill be going up to Class 12. Then simply concentrate on completing Class 11 well, since Class 12 is crucial in terms of board exams and choices of careers. Stay regular with your studies, follow your hobbies and begin to consider which stream or career you require after Class 12. You’ve got plenty of time and opportunities ahead—just stay confident and work smart!
