Hello,

No Polytechnic students are not eligible for NDA as the minimum education qualification required by the candidate who wants to give NDA is that he should have completed his 10+2 level exam or appeared for the same. So you won't be eligible for NDA exam. Along with that the candidates must be between the ages of 16.5 and 19.5 years to be eligible to appear for the NDA 2021 examination. There is no age relaxation for reserved category candidates in the NDA examination. As the minimum education qualification required for NDA is 10+2 (Army), 10+2 with Physics and Maths (Air Force & Navy) and you are doing polytechnic you won't be eligible for NDA even if you satisfy the age limit criteria.
