Hello,

To be eligible to apply for NDA 1 2023 a candidate must be born not earlier than July 2, 2004 and not later than July 1, 2007. Considering the given date of birth criteria you are not eligible to appear for NDA 1 2023. You can appear for NDA 2 2022 if you are born not earlier than January 2, 2004. And you must have passed 10+2 or appearing in 10+2 from a recognized board in 2022. A candidate who have studied Mathematics and Physics in 10+2 is eligible to select Indian Military Academy, Indian Naval Academy and Indian Air force Academy. A candidate who have passed 10+2 in any stream is eligible to select Indian Military Academy.

Hello,

The date of birth criteria to appear for National Defence Academy 2, 2024 (NDA 2, 2024) is that a candidate must not be born earlier than January 2, 2006 and not later than January 1, 2009. As you are born on October 6, 2005you are not eligible to appear or NDA 2 2024. Your last chance to appear for NDA will be NDA 1 2024 provided you must appear or pass in 10+2 examination from a recognized board in 2024. If you are studying Mathematics and Physics in 10+2 level then you are eligible to select Indian Military Academy, Indian Naval Academy and Indian Air force Academy.  If you belong to any stream in 10+2 level study then you are eligible to select Indian Military Academy only in NDA application form. The date of birth criteria to appear for NDA 1 2t 024 is that a candidate must not be born earlier than July 2, 2005 and not later than July 1, 2008.

Hello,

If you do not want to select any other preference besides Air Force Academy then you may fill '0' for the rest of your preferences. If you do so you will not be considered for admission to other academies such as Indian Military Academy and Naval Academy if you clear written test, SSB interview and Medical Examination. So we would suggest you to give preference in the order of your choice to all academies (highest preference to Air Force Academy). If you do not have required cut off score for Air Force Academy you might still have chances to get admission in to IMA or INA based on your score. But if you do not wish to join in IMA or INA then you may prefer AFA only.

• NDA 1 would most probably be conducted during the month of April( tentative)
  
• And NDA 2 would be conducted during September (tentative). So just be updated with the notification for filling the form for NDA - 2. The form would be filled between May and JJune

• Apart from this you have 5 more attempts for NDA from the year 2025 to 2027 (only NDA 1).

• So buckle up! Best of luck.

Hello aspirant,

YEs, you can apply for NDA (National defense Academy ) exam in 2024 because you will be then 19 years of age which will make you eligible for the NDA Exam.

The lower age limit says candidates should be 16 years during the commencement of course while the upper age limit to appear for NDA exam says candidates must be 19 years during the commencement of course i.e. candidates should be between the age of 16.5 years and 19.5 years to be eligible for the exam.

So, for the other part of your question - It is your choice to appear for NDA 1 or NDA 2. You can give only 1 or both NDA exam. But, If you pass the NDA 1 exam then it is not compulsory to fill the NDA 2 form . NDA is an exam which is conducted by the UPSC twice in a year.
