NDA Question Paper & Answer Key (September 2018) Mathematics

Dear Candidate ,
- For NDA 1 2026 , you are eligible since your birth date ( 24th Dec 2007 ) lies between 2 Jul 2007 and 1 Jul 2010 .
- For NDA 2 2026 , you are not eligible because the cutoff begins on 2 Jan 2008 .
Because UPSC requires candidates to be at least 16.5 and at most 19.5 years old on exam date ,

Hello Aspirant,

If you erroneously marked "Yes" for the question about studying in Sainik School or being the ward of a JCO/OR in the NDA 2 form when the answer was "No", Since you already mailed about this here is what you can do:

1. Call UPSC to have it resolved quicker
2. Wait for correction window (if any) - UPSC sometimes provides correction windows but they do this infrequently. If they have not yet announced the correction window, keep checking their official website.
3. On exam day and at when SSB comes around, just be honest about what happened. In my past experience, as long as the mistake does not directly impact your eligibility or give you unjust advantage, they are usually okay to be sorted out during the document verification stage.

Being 6/18 in both eyes, you may be able to take the job based on the recruitment medical standards of the recruiting authority particularly, the jobs in the defence services or the government sector.

Most medical standards have certain amounts of uncorrected deficiencies in vision when vision corrected (glasses, contacts) is of the expected standard. The specific allowance depends upon a service and a post.

When the notification explains uncorrected vision allowance, then it probably means that everyone whose vision is worse than normal, but can be corrected to meet the specified requirement, can be afforded.

In order to be sure:

Ensure to read the accuracy of vision standards and allowance as stated in the official notification.

Upon permission, make sure that you attain a legal eye prescription displaying corrected eyesight within a limit.

In case of doubts, a certified medical officer or ophthalmologist is to be consulted to provide a report on eye examination.

Hey! Because your birthday is on May 22, 2010, in 2025 you will be 15. And it is quite normal that at your age you are in Class 11. In 2026, youwill be going up to Class 12. Then simply concentrate on completing Class 11 well, since Class 12 is crucial in terms of board exams and choices of careers. Stay regular with your studies, follow your hobbies and begin to consider which stream or career you require after Class 12. You’ve got plenty of time and opportunities ahead—just stay confident and work smart!

HEY THERE!!!

• Unfortunately, you do not qualify for NDA 2 2025 if your birthdate is in November 2006.
• The specified eligibility window requires candidates to have been born between January 2, 2007, and January 1, 2010.
• Since your birth falls before this range, you do not meet the age criteria set for this examination.
• It would be advisable to explore alternative opportunities or eligibility options.

Hello,

The NDA exam conducted by UPSC has strict age eligibility criteria. For the NDA II 2025 exam, which is scheduled to be held in September 2025, only candidates born between January 2, 2007, and January 1, 2010 (both dates inclusive) are considered eligible. Since your son was born on November 1, 2006, he unfortunately does not fall within this age range, making him ineligible for the NDA II 2025 exam as per the current guidelines.

Hope this helps. All the best!

Hello aspirant,

As you do not fulfill the eligibility criteria, you are not eligible for NDA 1 2026.

Thank you

Hello Aspirant,

You are not eligible for NDA 1 or NDA 2 in 2026.

1. For NDA 1 2026, candidates may be born between 2nd July 2007 - 1st July 2010 (tentative range based on previous years).
2. For NDA 2 2026, the candidates' birthdate generally fall in the range of 2nd January 2008 - 1st January 2011.

Since you were born on 23rd November 2006 you will not be able to appear for NDA 1 or NDA 2 in 2026, as you will cross the upper-age limit.

Hello aspirant,

No, you will not be qualified to take the 2026 NDA exam.  According to the age requirements, applicants must be between 16.5 and 19.5 years old when the course starts.  You would be over 19.5 years old by 2026 due to your birthdate of January 8, 2007, which would exclude you from taking the NDA exam that year.

Thank you

Hope it helps you
