To test your eyes for NDA, first check distance vision using a Snellen chart; stand 6 meters away and read each eye separately—NDA usually requires 6/6 in one eye and 6/9 in the other. Next, test near vision by reading small text at 14–16 inches; normal is N5 or N6. Check color vision with Ishihara plates to detect red-green color blindness. Also, observe eye movements and peripheral vision for alignment and full field of vision. Minor corrective lenses may be allowed for some entries, but Air Force Pilot requires unaided 6/6 vision. Finally, a professional eye checkup is recommended for official NDA eligibility.

MSM Sainik School, Sri Ganganagar is a well-equipped, defence-oriented residential school with robust NDA preparation through written coaching, SSB training, and NCC involvement. That said, the school doesn’t publicly share data on how many cadets have secured NDA selection yet, and no unaffiliated sources offer that information either so if knowing exact outcomes is critical to you, it’s best to directly contact the school’s administration for the latest alumni performance figures.
Hey Rasuli:)
You were born on 31.5.2010,so you're 15 years old right now.There is no limit on the number of NDA attempts. To take the NDA exam you must be between 16.5 to 19.5 years old, so you'll become eligible at 16.5 and can continue appearing until 19.5.Since NDA is held twice a year ,you can realistically make around 4-5 attempts during this age period.
All the best!!
