It's a Question of your Career!

Hello Aspirant,

You are not eligible for NDA 1 or NDA 2 in 2026.

1. For NDA 1 2026, candidates may be born between 2nd July 2007 - 1st July 2010 (tentative range based on previous years).
2. For NDA 2 2026, the candidates' birthdate generally fall in the range of 2nd January 2008 - 1st January 2011.

Since you were born on 23rd November 2006 you will not be able to appear for NDA 1 or NDA 2 in 2026, as you will cross the upper-age limit.

Hello aspirant,

No, you will not be qualified to take the 2026 NDA exam.  According to the age requirements, applicants must be between 16.5 and 19.5 years old when the course starts.  You would be over 19.5 years old by 2026 due to your birthdate of January 8, 2007, which would exclude you from taking the NDA exam that year.

Thank you

Hope it helps you

dear student,

For NDA 1, 2026, the age limit requires candidates to be born between July 2, 2007, and July 1, 2010 . Since your date of birth is January 8, 2007 , you fall just outside the lower cutoff , making you ineligible for this attempt. Even though you may be within the general age range (16.5 to 19.5 years), UPSC goes strictly by the exact dates mentioned in the notification.

Hello aspirant,

Candidates' dates of birth must fall on or between January 2, 2008, and July 1, 2011, in order to be eligible for NDA 2.

So as you do not fulfill the eligibility criteria, you are ineligible for NDA 2 2026.

Thank you

If you want to become an IAS or IPS officer after completing your 12th in PCMC ,  focus on graduation because the UPSC Civil Services exam requires you to have a bachelor’s degree from a recognized university. You can choose any graduation stream, but many students prefer degrees like Political Science, Public Administration, History, or Sociology because these subjects help build a strong foundation for the UPSC syllabus. it’s not mandatory to pick these; you can also pursue Science, Commerce, or Arts as long as you complete your graduation. Along with your degree,  start preparing for the UPSC exam early by reading newspapers, improving your general knowledge, and practicing answer writing. So, after 12th, pick a degree you are comfortable with, and plan your UPSC preparation alongside

Hello Aditya,

As a PCB (Physics, Chemistry, Biology) student after your 12th board exam, you cannot directly appear for the Combined Defence Services (CDS) exam because it requires a bachelor’s degree. However, here’s a clear and concise guide on how you can prepare for and give the CDS exam after completing further studies, tailored to your background:

1. Understand CDS Eligibility : The CDS exam, conducted by UPSC twice a year, recruits for the Indian Military Academy (IMA), Indian Naval Academy (INA), Air Force Academy (AFA), and Officers’ Training Academy (OTA).
   
   
   • Educational Requirement :
     
     
     • IMA and OTA: Any bachelor’s degree from a recognized university.
     • INA: Bachelor’s degree in Engineering.
     • AFA: Bachelor’s degree with Physics and Mathematics at 12th level or Bachelor of Engineering.
       
       
   • For PCB Students : Since you don’t have Mathematics in 12th, you’re eligible for IMA and OTA after completing a bachelor’s degree (e.g., B.Sc., B.A.). INA and AFA are not an option unless you pursue an engineering degree or have Mathematics at the graduation level.
     
     
   • Age Limit : 19–25 years (varies by academy; check upsc.gov.in for 2025 details).
     
     
2. Steps to Prepare After 12th :
   
   
   • Pursue a Bachelor’s Degree : Enroll in a degree program (e.g., B.Sc. in Biology, Chemistry, or related fields, or even B.A.) to meet CDS eligibility. This takes 3–4 years.
     
     
   • Apply for CDS During Final Year : You can apply for CDS in the final year of your degree, provided you complete graduation before the training starts.
     
     
   • Application Process :
     
     
     • Visit upsconline.nic.in when notifications are released (typically December 2024 for CDS I 2025 and May 2025 for CDS II 2025).
       
       
     • Fill out the form, pay the fee (Rs. 200; exemptions for SC/ST/females), and select IMA/OTA as your preference.
       
       
3. CDS Exam Structure :
   
   
   • For IMA/OTA : Written exam includes English, General Knowledge, and Elementary Mathematics (Maths is optional for OTA).
     
     
   • PCB Advantage : Your Biology and Chemistry background helps with General Knowledge (science sections). English preparation is manageable with practice.
     
     
   • Challenge : If you’re weak in Mathematics, focus on OTA, where Maths is not required, or practice basic 10th-level Maths for IMA.
     
     
   • Next Steps : Clear the written exam, then pass the SSB interview and medical test.

Dear student,

Yes, you're eligible for NDA 2, 2025 . The expected DOB range is July 2, 2006 to July 1, 2009 , and your DOB (04 December 2006) falls within this. So you can apply for the exam—your age matches UPSC’s required criteria for that cycle.

Good luck
