Hi,

As per the NDA’s  age eligibility criteria, the candidate who is applying for the NDA exam must be of 16.5 to 19.5 years of age. Choose your stream in 11th and 12th based on the eligibility criteria. I would suggest you use the available chances to appear for the exam with proper guidance from e-learning platforms like Unacademy.

All the best !

Hello aspirant,

Hope you are doing absolutely great.

So with regard to your query, YES you are eligible for the NDA exam, only if you have the same eyesight and it is not increased. As per the guidelines from the authorities, candidates eyesight for myopia must not be more 2.5 D and for hypermetropia it should not be more than 3.5 D.

Hope it helps you,

Thank you.

Hi,

Based on my experience, I can say that you can easily clear the NDA written exam if you prepare with a positive approach and well planned manner. I cannot impose my itinerary on you but, I would like to share how I planned my preparations. As you know, the first step is our written exam and we need to clear it to proceed to the SSB interview. Investing the majority of your time in preparing for it is advisable. Prepare in a smart way, like:

• Clear your basic concepts by sincerely following NCERT text books.

• As soon as you complete a topic try to take a test and do a self assessment.

• Keep revisiting the topics already covered before you start a new topic.

• You should practice previous years' question papers to analyze your preparation.

• Effective time management is very important as you need to solve all questions within the stipulated time.

• Last but not least, approach your exam with confidence and a positive attitude.

These are just a few of the points which I followed for myself. Apart from these points, I suggest you take good online classes at your comfort to cover the syllabus in a well organized way. Numerous websites and online coaching institutes are providing us with online coaching. I personally utilized the coaching provided by Unacademy and have opted for the Iconic subscription (https://unacademy.com/goal/nda/DANNJ) which really helped me with their live classes. The structured syllabus helped me to cover the syllabus in very little time and also in an organized way. The most helpful one was the mock tests which helped me to prepare for the exam in a better way, I could clearly analyze my performance where I had to invest more effort. Finally, Unacademy provides this subscription at a nominal price compared to other learning platforms. I have just shared my point of view.  I hope they stand helpful to you.

Good luck!!
