HEY THERE!!!

  • Unfortunately, you do not qualify for NDA 2 2025 if your birthdate is in November 2006.
  • The specified eligibility window requires candidates to have been born between January 2, 2007, and January 1, 2010.
  • Since your birth falls before this range, you do not meet the age criteria set for this examination.
  • It would be advisable to explore alternative opportunities or eligibility options.

Hello,

The NDA exam conducted by UPSC has strict age eligibility criteria. For the NDA II 2025 exam, which is scheduled to be held in September 2025, only candidates born between January 2, 2007, and January 1, 2010 (both dates inclusive) are considered eligible. Since your son was born on November 1, 2006, he unfortunately does not fall within this age range, making him ineligible for the NDA II 2025 exam as per the current guidelines.

Hope this helps. All the best!
