Hi,

Yes, reasoning is a part of the National Defence Academy (NDA) exam. The NDA exam includes two papers: Mathematics and General Ability Test (GAT). The GAT paper is divided into two sections:

1. English: Covers grammar, vocabulary, comprehension, and more.

2. General Knowledge: Includes sections such as Physics, Chemistry, General Science, History, Geography, and Current Events.

Within the General Knowledge section, there are often questions that test reasoning and analytical abilities, although it may not be a separate dedicated section labeled as "Reasoning". Logical reasoning questions can be embedded within various topics, assessing a candidate's problem-solving and critical thinking skills.

Hope it helps!

Yes, you can still appear for the NDA 2 exam even if you mistakenly selected General (Unreserved) instead of OBC in your form.

Hii,

If your form shows "General" instead of "OBC," you can still appear for the UPSC NDA 2 exam. The only difference is that you will be considered under the General category. This means you will not get benefits like age relaxation or marks relaxation that OBC candidates get.

If there is an error in your form, you should contact UPSC to correct it. But, in general, you are eligible to take the exam, just not with the OBC category advantages.
