Hello Rishika,
As per the eligibility criteria for the NDA (National Defence Academy) exam, candidates must be between 16.5 and 19.5 years old on the first day of the month in which the exam is conducted. For NDA 1, 2026, the exam will likely be held in April 2026, so you would need to check your age eligibility at that time.
Since you were born on November 9, 2007, you will be 18 years old by April 2026, which makes you eligible for the NDA 1, 2026 exam, provided you meet the other required conditions.
Make sure to confirm the exact dates for the NDA 1 2026 exam and age limit through the official UPSC notification when it is released.

Hello
It depends on the specific year's cutoff and the category you belong , Since the cutoffs vary each year , especially for different branches and categories (like EWS, OBC, etc.) , it's essential to check the latest official cutoff trends . For a rank of 440 , it may be competitive enough , but you should refer to the current cutoff data for your category to estimate your chances .
As for your fitness for joining the Navy , it's based on physical and medical standards . which include good overall health , physical fitness and vision . Since you mentioned having a Physically Challenged Disability (PCD) , it could affect your eligibility for certain roles .
However , the Navy may have specific roles available for individuals with certain types of disabilities , so it's advisable to check with the recruitment authority about the specific conditions under which you might be eligible .
