Hello aspirant,
You can take the NDA 2026 exam, yes. Given that you were born on May 27, 2007, you are inside the UPSC's 2026 age restrictions for both NDA 1 and NDA 2. Candidates must typically be born between July 2006 and July 2009 to be eligible for NDA 1, and between January 2007 and January 2010 to be eligible for NDA 2. You are therefore qualified to apply for the NDA exam in 2026 because your age precisely matches the necessary requirements.
Thank you

Thank you
Hello, This is a very important and specific question. Based on the current medical standards for entry into the National Defence Academy (NDA), a corrected eyesight of -3.0 D unfortunately makes you ineligible for the Army wing.
The Specific Eyesight Standards for NDA (Army Wing)
The armed forces have very strict visual standards, which are different for the Army, Navy, and Air Force. For the Army, the key limits are related to Myopia (nearsightedness) and Hypermetropia (farsightedness).
- Myopia (Nearsightedness) Limit: The maximum permissible refractive error is -2.5 D.
- Hypermetropia (Farsightedness) Limit: The maximum permissible error is +2.5 D.
Your Situation: Your spectacle power of -3.0 D is beyond the acceptable limit of -2.5 D for myopia.
I hope you found this information helpful.
Hi dear candidate,
You are eligible for NDA Air force and Navy wing even though you have subjects from two different marksheets but having qualified in Physics, Chemistry and Mathematics is all you need. Hence, you are eligible but also check other criteria as well like age, physical requirements etc.
