To test your eyes for NDA, first check distance vision using a Snellen chart; stand 6 meters away and read each eye separately—NDA usually requires 6/6 in one eye and 6/9 in the other. Next, test near vision by reading small text at 14–16 inches; normal is N5 or N6. Check color vision with Ishihara plates to detect red-green color blindness. Also, observe eye movements and peripheral vision for alignment and full field of vision. Minor corrective lenses may be allowed for some entries, but Air Force Pilot requires unaided 6/6 vision. Finally, a professional eye checkup is recommended for official NDA eligibility.



Yes, you can appear for the 2nd NDA exam to be held in 2025 . Your date of birth is 2nd September 2006, and age limit for NDA exam is 16.5 to 19.5 years, and you must be born between 2nd July 2006 to 1st July 2009. Therefore, you are eligible for the second NDA exam to be held in 2025,

Good luck..

Yes, you are eligible for NDA if you meet the official age criteria. For NDA 1, the required age limit is generally 16.5 to 19.5 years. Since you were born on 01 May 2006, you will fall within the eligibility range for upcoming NDA exams provided you have also passed 12th with Physics and Mathematics (for Air Force and Navy).


MSM Sainik School, Sri Ganganagar is a well-equipped, defence-oriented residential school with robust NDA preparation through written coaching, SSB training, and NCC involvement. That said, the school doesn’t publicly share data on how many cadets have secured NDA selection yet, and no unaffiliated sources offer that information either so if knowing exact outcomes is critical to you, it’s best to directly contact the school’s administration for the latest alumni performance figures.

Hey Rasuli:)

You were born on 31.5.2010,so you're 15 years old right now.There is no limit on the number of NDA attempts. To take the NDA exam you must be between 16.5 to 19.5 years old, so you'll become eligible at 16.5 and can continue appearing until 19.5.Since NDA is held twice a year ,you can realistically make around 4-5 attempts during this age period.

All the best!!
