Hello Aspirant

The eligibility criteria for the NDA exam is that you should have passed 12th or any equivalent examination from a UGC-recognized Board of Examination or should be appearing for it. Only unmarried men/women are eligible between the age group of 16.5 and 19.5 years.

Since you were born in 2007, in 2026 you'll be 19 years old. That might be your only chance at clearing NDA, in one go. I'll suggest that you appear for the NDA exam in 2025 also, just to see what the exam pattern is, and how you handle the time management issue that many candidates face.

All the best!
