Hello,

To be eligible for NDA candidates are supposed to be between 16.5 to 19.5 years. There is no age relaxation provided to reserved category applicants for the NDA & NA examinations as per the rules set by the Union Public Service Commission. So to be eligible for NDA 1 2022 candidates should be born between July 2, 2004, to July 1, 2007. As you were born on 17/05/2003 you are no more eligible to give NDA exams. The NDA 2 2021 was the last NDA exam you were eligible for.

Yes off course you can apply for UPSC CDS exam being a Hotel Management graduate but the point is that you are only eligible to apply for IMA & OTA and if you have Physics and Mathematics as subjects in your 12th then you can apply for AFA too.

For navy only B.Tech holders are eligible and there no percentage criteria at all.

Hope it Helps,

Thanks.
