Hello,
According to the eligibility criteria for the NDA 2, the age limit is between January 2, 2005, and January 1, 2008. Unfortunately, with a DOB of 03/09/2008, you are not eligible for NDA 2. You'll need to wait until you meet the age requirements.
Tanya Gupta 11 March,2025

I hope this helps !!
