Hello aspirant,

To get admitted to the National Defence Academy (NDA) in 2026, you must be at least the age that the UPSC has specified. Usually, applicants must be between the ages of 16.5 and 19.5 at the time of application.

So if you fulfill this eligibility criteria, you are eligible for NDA 2026.

Thank you

First thing about the NDA 1 is that if you were born on February 13, 2008, you are eligible to take the NDA 1 exam and the whole NDA process is of 1 year so when you go for your ssb u need ur 12th passing certificate so if you get your result on time you are eligible for the post if selected. And can fill the form.

Second case is You can fill the form of NDA 1 Even if you don't get result which is just like dummy exam you can give the exam but you are not eligible for the post but the thing is you get experience from the exam for next attempt.

Good luck..

Hello,

No, joining the Indian Navy's logistics branch directly through the National Defence Academy (NDA) route is not possible. Here’s why:

  • NDA Role Limitations : The NDA primarily trains cadets for combat roles in the Indian Army, Navy, and Air Force.
  • Logistics Cadre Recruitment : The logistics branch of the Navy requires specialized skills, typically recruited through direct entries like the Indian Navy's Logistics Cadre recruitment for graduates.
  • Alternative Pathways : To join Navy Logistics, consider entry through the Combined Defence Services (CDS) after graduation or direct recruitment based on professional qualifications (e.g., MBA, BCom).

Here is a detailed guideline of how you can become an Indian Navy officer : https://www.careers360.com/careers/indian-navy-officer

Hope it helps !

Hello aspirant,

You will be eligible to take the National Defence Academy (NDA) exam beginning in 2024 because you were born in June 2006. Generally speaking, applicants are allowed to take the NDA exam as many times as necessary until they meet the age restriction of 19½.

Thank you

Hope it helps you
