Hello Ashwin,

Choosing between a career in the National Defence Academy (NDA) and other fields via JEE, KCET, or CUET ultimately depends on where your passion and career goals lie. Both paths have distinct futures and demands, and here’s a breakdown to guide your decision:

  1. National Defence Academy (NDA):

    • Career and Training : NDA offers a career in the armed forces with a focus on physical endurance, leadership, discipline, and a lifestyle dedicated to national service. You’ll undergo rigorous training at the academy, leading to positions in the Army, Navy, or Air Force, depending on your interests and performance.

    • Commitment : A career in defense is a lifetime commitment, often with restrictions on flexibility and civilian work options but comes with job security, honor, and lifelong benefits.

    • Growth and Opportunities : The military has a defined hierarchy, and there’s scope for advancement based on merit and experience.

  2. Engineering and Other Streams (via JEE, KCET, CUET):

    • JEE (IIT/NIT) : With a high JEE score, you can enter premier institutes like IITs or NITs, giving you an engineering career path with potential opportunities in tech, research, or even management (if you later opt for an MBA). This path is more versatile, with possibilities across various industries.

    • KCET : Provides similar opportunities within Karnataka’s leading state engineering colleges. The engineering or medical fields here offer a stable and respected profession, but the prestige may differ from that of IITs/NITs.

    • CUET : A high CUET score opens doors to top central universities for various courses, leading to a range of careers depending on your chosen field.

If you have a strong passion for serving the country and find the military lifestyle appealing, NDA might be the right path. However, if you are inclined towards engineering, technology, or a flexible career with civilian opportunities , a path through JEE, KCET, or CUET would provide broader options.

I hope this answer helps you. If you have more queries then feel free to share your questions with us we will be happy to assist you.

Thank you and wishing you all the best for your bright future.

Hello there,

Unfortunately, PWD (Persons with Disabilities) candidates are not eligible for the NDA (National Defence Academy) exam . The NDA has strict medical and physical standards that candidates must meet, and individuals with disabilities are generally not considered due to the rigorous nature of the training and the requirements for military service.

Here’s the truth regarding eligibility for PWD candidates:

  1. Physical Fitness Standards : NDA has very stringent physical fitness requirements. Candidates must be in perfect physical and mental health without any disabilities. The training and future responsibilities in the armed forces demand high physical endurance and capabilities.

  2. Medical Examination : Every candidate who clears the NDA written exam must undergo a detailed medical examination conducted by the Services Selection Board (SSB). Any form of disability or medical condition that may affect physical performance is considered grounds for disqualification.

  3. Specific Exclusions : Disabilities such as visual impairments, hearing impairments, physical deformities, or limitations in movement or strength are not permitted. The candidate must meet the specified standards for height, weight, chest expansion, eyesight, and overall fitness.

    Alternatives for PWD Candidates:

While NDA is not open to PWD candidates, individuals with disabilities can explore other career paths in government services , public sector undertakings (PSUs) , or civil services , which offer reservations and specific provisions for PWD candidates.

Since your birthdate is 23rd September 2007, here's how many attempts you can make for the National Defence Academy (NDA) exam.


The NDA exam is conducted twice a year by the UPSC, and candidates must meet the age criteria as follows:

- The age limit is generally between 16.5 and 19.5 years.

- For most NDA exams, the candidate must not be older than 19.5 years on the commencement date of the course, which is typically in January or July of the following year after the exam.


Given this, let's calculate:

- By September 2024, you will turn 17 years old, making you eligible to appear for NDA in 2024.

- You will remain eligible for the NDA exam until you turn 19.5 years old, which will be around March 2027.


Therefore, starting from 2024 until 2026 (since the NDA is held twice a year), you can attempt the NDA exam for **5 times** (from NDA 2 in 2024 to NDA 2 in 2026). Keep an eye on specific eligibility criteria for each exam cycle to confirm your eligibility.

hope this helps you!!

Hello aspirant,

One of the most well-liked competitive tests in the nation is the NDA exam. Twice a year, the Union Public Service Commission conducts it. Every year, a sizable number of applicants who took the Class 12 exam or are taking it do so. Candidates who wish to serve their country by joining the Indian army can do so directly through the NDA.

To be eligible for NDA exam, you must have maths in you 11and 12 standard. Basic maths will not work for NDA exams.

Thank you

Hello,

To join the NDA (National Defence Academy), you are required to appear for an entrance exam conducted by UPSC. For the Army wing, candidates can apply with any stream, including basic mathematics. However, for the Air Force and Navy wings, Mathematics and Physics are mandatory subjects in your 10+2.


Even if you're considering basic mathematics, it is advisable to take Science subjects, especially Physics and Chemistry, if you're aiming for the technical branches or Air Force/Navy wings. In addition to core subjects, improving your general knowledge, English, and reasoning skills is essential, as they are part of the NDA written exam.


If you're focused on the Army wing, a combination of basic mathematics with subjects that interest you can work, but opting for advanced mathematics and science will keep more options open for all branches.
