You were born on 9 March 2007, so you are not eligible for NDA 1 or NDA 2 in 2026. NDA 1 requires birth between 2 July 2007 and 1 July 2010, and NDA 2 needs birth between 2 Jan 2008 and 1 Jan 2011. Since your DOB is earlier, you exceed the upper age limit for both exams.
Rithwik Kumar Sahu 31 July,2025
Hello kaushal, as your dob is 20 March 2008 means you're turning 19 on 20 March 2028 , according to upsc rule maximum age is 19.5 year.
Since NDA conducted two time in a year and nda release their age criteria is born between 2 july 2008 and 1 january 2011
Without taking risk you're eligible for nda 1 and 2 in 2026, remember upsc is highly strict about their age criteria.
