Hi,

As a 11th standard student you are not eligible for NDA exam as the candidate must have passed or must be appearing for the 12th standard exams from any recognized board. It is important as you will be required to produce the proof for passing the 10+2 in the month of December 2020.

You can check the eligibility criteria on the link given below:

nda current affairs syllabus 2020

Pankhuri Kumari 16th Jan, 2020

Dear Student!
NDA has not given syllabus norms as such for Current Affairs. Current affairs itself means the recent happenings going around in the world. So, as a matter of fact, tou can prepare for topics such as important dates, important and current happening in India and around the world, prominent personalities, geography, history, and basic science as a whole, and basic knowledge about Indian armed forces. Hope this helps.
Good luck!

hello, I am 12th PCB student can i go in defence without give nda. please tell me about any exam in officer ranking

Vikas gehlot 15th Jan, 2020

If you want to go into defence services as an officer just after class 12th then the only option is to appear for National defence academy exam and qualify the SSB interviewthe qualification is you need to have physics as your subject in class 12th and mathematics if you are applying for airforce and navy.

Other option is technical entry scheme in which you need to have physics chemistry and mathematics for subject in class 12th.

if you wish to join defence forces as an officer after your graduation then there are multiple entry option technical entry , general entry by cdse.
