Hello aspirant,
No, you will not be qualified to take the 2026 NDA exam. According to the age requirements, applicants must be between 16.5 and 19.5 years old when the course starts. You would be over 19.5 years old by 2026 due to your birthdate of January 8, 2007, which would exclude you from taking the NDA exam that year.
Thank you
Hope it helps you
Sajal Trivedi 22 May,2025
