The BOSSE Board is recognized by COBSE and NIOS, making it generally valid for education and jobs in India. However, for NDA and SSB, UPSC requires 10+2 from a recognized board. While BOSSE is likely valid, it's best to confirm directly with UPSC or NDA authorities to ensure eligibility.

Hello aspirant,

Candidates should typically be between the ages of 16.5 and 19.5 when the course starts. Candidates for NDA 1 (2026) must have been born between July 2, 2007, and July 1, 2010. Candidates for NDA 2 (2026) must have been born between January 2, 2008, and January 1, 2011.

So, unfortunately, you do not fulfill the eligibility criteria and that's why ineligible for NDA exam 2026.

Thank you
