Hello
The NDA (National Defence Academy) Exam is conducted twice a year by UPSC for admission to Army, Navy, and Air Force. This exam has two papers:
1. Mathematics
2. GAT (General Ability Test)
Both papers are MCQ type with negative marking.
You were born on 14th December 2006, so you will not be eligible for NDA 2026 because the required date of birth for that exam is between 2nd July 2007 and 1st July 2010 ( according to UPSC pattern ). Therefore, your last eligible attempt was NDA 2025.
Hello Yuvraj
As your Date of Birth is 21 August 2007, you will be over the limit for NDA 1 2027 as the age limit for NDA is 19.5 years and during the time of NDA 1 2027, you will be older than that age limit so you won't be eligible for the same.
Still you can refer the notification when it arrives as it will tell the offical age limit for that attempt.
Thank You!!!
