Yes, this is true. That is why a majority of students fill the form of NDA in the April of when they are in class XII, so that the starting date does not clashed with the school or any examination.

So, the recommended time for you to give NDA is in April 2024 and NOT in April 2023 or else you will face a lot of problems. All the best!

NDA selects candidates mainly for the two wings i.e., Indian Army & Indian Air Force and Naval. The eligibility criteria or this wings are provided below:

As you can see you need to qualify the 10+2 examination, so with Diploma after 10th you are not eligible for the examination.
