Questions related to NDA

On Question asked by student community

Have a question related to NDA ?

Hii,

No, you will not be eligible for the NDA 1 2026 exam because, as you have stated that your date of birth is 19 July 2007, and you do not fit in this range. Being between the range of 16.5 to 19.5 years is not enough. Your date of birth does not come under the mandated date range.

Hope it helps!!!

Hello,

If your date of birth is 01/01/2008 , you are not eligible for NDA 2, 2026 .

For NDA 2, 2026 , candidates must be born between 2 January 2007 and 1 January 2010 .
Since your date of birth is 1 January 2008 , you fall inside this range , so you are actually eligible.

Hope it helps !

Hello,

Yes, you are eligible for the NDA1 2026 exam, as your date of birth, 09/06/2007, falls under the eligible range for the NDA1 2026 exam, which is between July 2, 2007, and July 1, 2010. Also, remember to meet the other criteria for the exam, such as educational qualification and age criteria.

I hope it will clear your query!!

The IMU CET (Indian Maritime University Common Entrance Test) is typically held once a year for the July batch.

  • Notification/Application: Releases around March/April.

  • Exam Date: The exam is usually conducted in June.

Hello Aspirant

It’s okay to feel lost right now. Many students go through this after 12th.
You had an interest in NDA, which means you have discipline and courage in you.
Even if you missed NDA, you can still join the defence later through CDS after graduation.
If you want a steady government job, SSC is a great option with strong career growth.
If you like technology and logical work, a B.Tech can open many career paths.
Take some time to understand what truly excites you: serving, studying, or solving.
You haven’t failed; you’re just finding your right direction. Your journey’s not over yet.
