Hi,
NCERT is the Geeta, Bible, Quran of all the UPSC exams and is a good source to clear NDA 2022 exam with least difficulty, especially for the maths is more than enough. Remember that an aspirant major focus should be on clearing the maths paper first as only on clearing the maths one’s general aptitude will get checked. So one must ensure that he/she must be very much comfortable with class 10 th , 11 th , and 12 th NCERT maths . The major focus must be on the trigonometry & calculus part. The Algebra questions are comparatively easier in the paper.
For the physics, chemistry & biology, 9 th and 10 th class NCERT are quite sufficient, but maybe there could be few questions of the SHM or kinematics so it is better to read the 11 th class NCERT as well to score even better.
The current affairs part majorly comprises questions related to awards, sports, and important deals, etc.
History and geography come majorly as compared to civics and economics. The history part comprises of questions from the time of British India or even before that. Geography comprises of the general knowledge questions related to the crops, seasons, rivers, population, national parks, etc. of the different states either in the form of the match the column type/direct multiple choice.
If any aspirant wants to learn more in order to qualify NDA exam, one can follow the below books:
For English
This section of the NDA exam assesses the candidate's understanding of grammar & vocabulary. Some books that the students can refer to
· Objective General English by SP Bakshi
· Wren & Martin High School English Grammar and Composition

For Physics
Questions in this section are usually asked from class 11 th and 12 th . Generally, candidates will get questions related to electricity and mechanics. Candidates may refer to the NCERT books of class 11 th and 12 th and NCERT Exemplar.
For Chemistry
The chemistry section consists of questions that candidates have studied in class 11 th and 12 th . Questions are typically from Hydrogen, Oxygen, Carbon-Di-Oxide, Oxidation and Reduction, Acid and Bases, Atoms, Valence, etc. For this section too, candidates may refer to NCERT class 11 th and 12 th books.
For General Science, History, Geography
The General Science, History & Geography section comprises of topics that are related to class 9 th and 10 th Biology. Candidates may refer to Objective GK by Sanjiv Kumar.

For NDA Mathematics
The Maths paper cover topics such as Integral Calculus, Trigonometry, Differential Equations, Algebra, Matrices and Determinants, Vector Algebra, Analytical Geometry, Statistics & Probability.

Hello,
It is very impressive to know that you have chosen your career path at the right stage. It is indeed a pride to be a part of the Indian defence services. I would like to answer your question and share my experience with you. I cleared my NDA exam in my first attempt itself. You may choose the best institutes for coaching but you need to be focused and determined to reach the goal. I planned my day so that I could spare some time for my physical fitness. Unacademy the (https://unacademy.com/goal/nda/DANNJ) teaching platform was so flexible and feasible that I could prepare for my test at any point of time and at my convenience. I’m not insisting you to take up unacademy but I would like to highlight how beneficial it actually is:
* Unlimited view time and access for the classes
* Coaching by veterans who will give you the actual picture of how the selection process would be
* The best faculty members
* Unlimited mock test to make yourself ready for the d-day
* Instantaneous doubt clearance sessions
Unacademy (https://unacademy.com/goal/nda/DANNJ) was the best platform for me to clear my NDA as well as SSB. I have just shared my personal experience with you. Hope this stands helpful to you in any way.
All the best for your preparations.
This is the right time to start your preparations to reach your goal. But, before you proceed to join NDA (https://unacademy.com/content/nda/notification/eligibility/) , make sure you are aware of a few basic criteria:
The minimum qualification is either a 12th pass or the one who is appearing for 12th exams.
While choosing your stream, make yourself clear that the Indian Airforce and Navy requires you to have a Mathematics background whereas the Indian Army does not require such subject preferences. So, be clear while choosing the stream in grade 11.
Now, as you want to join NDA and you have just passed 10th, you have ample time to prepare for the exam. You can start watching videos related to Maths and GAT. Please start your preparation by referring to NCERT books as they are the best and the most reliable source. Based on my personal experience, I would suggest the courses offered by Unacademy (an E-learning platform) which will be of great help in your preparation. Iconic subscription (https://unacademy.com/goal/nda/DANNJ) provides video lectures, online live sessions, and mock interview sessions along with mock tests.Trust me they will be of great help while appearing for your prelims and SSB too. Aim for the best as we all deserve it!
Good luck
It is quite difficult to say which board is much better for NDA as both of the boards are prestigious boards. However the major difference between Central Board of Secondary Education Board and Indian certificate of Secondary Education is that the first one focuses on concepts which are theoretical where is the second one board focuses on the practical knowledge which a student earns. If we talk about the level of the syllabus of these both boards then Indian certificate of 2nd Education Board has more complex syllabus in comparison to Central Board of Secondary Education. Most of the students in India take Central Board of Secondary Education because it helps students to prepare for different national competitive examinations.
