First thing about the NDA 1 is that if you were born on February 13, 2008, you are eligible to take the NDA 1 exam and the whole NDA process is of 1 year so when you go for your ssb u need ur 12th passing certificate so if you get your result on time you are eligible for the post if selected. And can fill the form.

Second case is You can fill the form of NDA 1 Even if you don't get result which is just like dummy exam you can give the exam but you are not eligible for the post but the thing is you get experience from the exam for next attempt.

It's important to be open about your academic history during the SSB interview. Be ready to share why you had to take the compartment exam and how you dealt with it. A positive attitude and confidence can really help you handle this situation well.

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.
