UPSC NDA 1 Question Paper 2024

Hello,

BOSSE (Board of Open Schooling and Skill Education), Sikkim is not recognised by most defence recruitment boards like NDA (National Defence Academy). For NDA, the qualification must be from a recognised board like CBSE, ICSE, or any state board recognised by the Association of Indian Universities (AIU) and Ministry of Education .

As of now, there is no confirmed proof that someone from BOSSE board has cleared SSB and completed all document verification. Even if someone attended SSB, they might face issues at the final document stage if the board is not recognised.

So, it is better to choose a board that is surely accepted by UPSC and defence forces to avoid problems later.

Hope it helps !

To join the NDA (National Defence Academy), you must meet the following age and education criteria:

Age: You must be between 16.5 and 19.5 years at the time of joining.

- For NDA 1 (2025), you should be born between July 2, 2006 and July 1, 2009.

- Your birth date, July 23, 2008, falls within this range.

Education: You must have passed or be appearing in Class 12 at the time of the exam.

- You're currently in Class 10, so you're not yet eligible. You can apply after you reach Class 12.

Conclusion:

You can join NDA in the future. Based on your age, you may be eligible to apply for NDA 1 or NDA 2 in 2026 or 2027, depending on when you complete Class 12.

Hello,

Regarding your query, It seems that Siliguri is not included in the list of NDA exam centers . The most common list of exam centers for the NDA exam do not include Siliguri.

Hello,

To be eligible for NDA 2 in 2025 , a candidate must be born between July 2, 2006, and January 1, 2009 (as per the usual age criteria).

Since you were born on December 13, 2006 , you fall within this range , so yes, you are eligible for NDA 2 in 2025.

Hope it helps !

Hello,

No, you will not be eligible for both the NDA exams in 2026 .

For the NDA exam, you need to be between 16.5 and 19.5 years old. If your date of birth is 12th February 2007, you will be 19 years old by February 2026, and you will only be eligible for the NDA exam held in April 2026. You will not be eligible for the NDA exam in September 2026, as you will be over the age limit by then.

Hope it helps !

You have total 6 attempts including the one exam going to be held in April, 2025.

Dear Aspirant,

Unfortunately, after reviewing your details, you are not eligible to participate in the upcoming NDA 2 exam . You mentioned that your date of birth is August 2, 2006. The NDA 2 examination is scheduled to take place in January 2026, and to qualify for this opportunity, candidates must be within the age range of 16.5 to 19.5 years at the time the course begins.

To clarify, the eligibility criteria specify that candidates must be born between January 2, 2007, and January 1, 2010. Since your birthdate falls outside this specified range, you are unfortunately ineligible for NDA 2.

If you have any further questions or need assistance regarding the eligibility requirements, please feel free to reach out.
