Hello there

NDA stands for National Defence Academy which conducts examination twice a year for admission into the 3 wings of defense, i.e Army, Navy as well as the Air Force.

The NDA exam is divided into 2 sections- Mathematics and General Ability Test.

Now for paper 1, I would suggest standard textbook of mathematics for intermediates to pick anyone out of RS AGGARWAL, RD SHARMA , NCERT as per your taste and for the paper 2, Arihant Publications Pathfinder for NDA & NA EXAM is more than enough also for current affairs in paper 2 read 8 months current affairs to the exam.
