Hello,
To be eligible for NDA 2 in 2025 , a candidate must be born between July 2, 2006, and January 1, 2009 (as per the usual age criteria).
Since you were born on December 13, 2006 , you fall within this range , so yes, you are eligible for NDA 2 in 2025.
Hope it helps !
No, you will not be eligible for both the NDA exams in 2026 .
For the NDA exam, you need to be between 16.5 and 19.5 years old. If your date of birth is 12th February 2007, you will be 19 years old by February 2026, and you will only be eligible for the NDA exam held in April 2026. You will not be eligible for the NDA exam in September 2026, as you will be over the age limit by then.
If your goal is to become an IAS officer, choose a degree that supports UPSC preparation and also provides a good backup:
BA in Political Science, History, Geography, or Economics is ideal for IAS. BSc or BCom is fine too, but you'll need to study humanities separately for UPSC. For backup, pick a subject with good job prospects like BBA or Computer Science.
KCET is required only if you're planning professional courses like Engineering or Agriculture. It's not needed for BA or general degrees.
After 10th for IAS
Since you were born on November 17, 2008, you will be eligible for the NDA exam starting when you turn 16 and a half years old. The NDA exam allows candidates between the ages of 16.5 and 19.5 years to apply.
Here's how the attempts work for you:
The NDA exam is held twice a year, in April and September.
You will likely be eligible to appear for the exam starting in 2025, when you'll be 16.5 years old.
You can appear for the exam until you turn 19.5 years old, which will be in November 2027.
This means you have a total of 6 attempts available for NDA, from 2025 to 2027.
Yes, with a PGDM in Finance, you are likely eligible to apply for the IBPS SO (Specialist Officer) exam for the Finance Officer position in 2025, provided you meet the other eligibility criteria.
IBPS SO Eligibility:

Finance Officer Eligibility:
For the Finance Officer (Scale I) position, IBPS typically specifies a graduate degree with a post-graduate qualification or diploma in Finance or a related field.
PGDM in Finance:
Your PGDM in Finance likely meets the required post-graduate qualification criteria.
Other Criteria:
Ensure you also meet the age limit (typically between 20-30 years, with relaxations for certain categories) and any other specific requirements mentioned in the official IBPS SO notification.
Check the Notification:
Always refer to the official IBPS notification for the most accurate and up-to-date information on eligibility criteria, including specific requirements for each post.
Dear Aspirant,
Unfortunately, after reviewing your details, you are not eligible to participate in the upcoming NDA 2 exam . You mentioned that your date of birth is August 2, 2006. The NDA 2 examination is scheduled to take place in January 2026, and to qualify for this opportunity, candidates must be within the age range of 16.5 to 19.5 years at the time the course begins.
To clarify, the eligibility criteria specify that candidates must be born between January 2, 2007, and January 1, 2010. Since your birthdate falls outside this specified range, you are unfortunately ineligible for NDA 2.
If you have any further questions or need assistance regarding the eligibility requirements, please feel free to reach out.

Greetings! Here's a detailed response to your query
To start your prep for IAS exams without any coaching and free of cost here are some pointers you can follow :-
1.Understand the exam- To get started with IAS prep, first grab the official UPSC syllabus for both the first exam (Prelims) and the main exam (Mains) from their website. Understand what you need to study and how important each topic is.
Next, learn how the exam is set up. There are three parts: a multiple-choice test (Prelims), a written exam with long answers (Mains), and an interview. Know how many papers are in each, how you get marks, and how much time you get.
Finally, look at old exam papers from the last 5 to 10 years. This will give you an idea of how tough the exam is, what kinds of questions they ask, and which topics you should really focus on.
2.Build a strong foundation-Begin your IAS study with NCERT books from classes 6 to 12 for subjects like History, Geography, Civics, Economics, and Science. These will give you a basic understanding. Once you know the basics well, switch to standard books for each subject. You can find lists of recommended books online from people who've cleared the exam. Some popular ones are mentioned for Polity, Economy, Modern History, and Geography.
3.Stay updated with current affairs- To stay updated for IAS, read a good national newspaper every day (like The Hindu or Indian Express) and jot down important news from India and the world. Also, read magazines like Yojana and Kurukshetra to understand social and economic topics deeply. Check websites like PIB and those of research groups for info on government plans and reports.
4.Utilize free online resources-For IAS prep help, check out websites like BYJU'S, ClearIAS, and Mrunal. They have free study stuff. Also, watch YouTube channels by teachers and ex-IAS officers for tips and lessons. Join online groups to ask questions and learn from others preparing for the exam.
5.Mock tests and self assessment-Take free practice tests online for both Prelims and Mains to see how ready you are and what you need to work on. After each test, check what you did wrong and focus on fixing those things. Remember to study regularly, believe in yourself, and take breaks so you don't get too tired. Consistency is more important than studying for many hours at once.
I hope this helps . Financial problems can never stop one from dreaming and achieving things in their life. Stay motivated!!!
Yes, it is necessary for the last year's result to be declared by July for SSC CPO. This is because the final selection process and document verification require the previous year's result to be available.
If the result is delayed, it may create issues during the selection process.
