Hello aspirant,
Candidates must have been born between July 2, 2007, and July 1, 2010 in order to be eligible for this exam. You meet the age eligibility requirements since your date of birth falls within this range.
So, you are qualified to take the NDA 1 2026 exam if your birthdate is November 22, 2007.
Thank you
Hello, This is a very important and specific question. Based on the current medical standards for entry into the National Defence Academy (NDA), a corrected eyesight of -3.0 D unfortunately makes you ineligible for the Army wing.
The Specific Eyesight Standards for NDA (Army Wing)
The armed forces have very strict visual standards, which are different for the Army, Navy, and Air Force. For the Army, the key limits are related to Myopia (nearsightedness) and Hypermetropia (farsightedness).
Your Situation: Your spectacle power of -3.0 D is beyond the acceptable limit of -2.5 D for myopia.
I hope you found this information helpful.
Hi dear candidate,
You are eligible for NDA Air force and Navy wing even though you have subjects from two different marksheets but having qualified in Physics, Chemistry and Mathematics is all you need. Hence, you are eligible but also check other criteria as well like age, physical requirements etc.
Kindly refer to the link below:
NDA Eligibility Criteria 2026 - Age Limit, Qualification, Nationality, Attempt Limit
BEST REGARDS

Hope it helps..
Hello,
Yes, you will be eligible.
For NDA 1 2026, candidates must be between 16.5 years and 19.5 years on the cut-off dates given in the notification. Since you will be 19 years 4 months at the time of exam, you will still be under 19.5 years. So you can apply.
You will only become ineligible after you cross 19.5 years.
Hope it helps !
