You were born on 14th December 2006, so you will not be eligible for NDA 2026 because the required date of birth for that exam is between 2nd July 2007 and 1st July 2010 ( according to UPSC pattern ). Therefore, your last eligible attempt was NDA 2025.

Hey ,

Yes you are eligible for NDA exam 1&2 if you are born in 14/12/2006 because the age limit for writing the nda exam is that candidate must be between 16 to 19.5 year old . So you might can appear for the nda exam in 2026 but for more appropriate and detailed information you can visit the official site for the same thankyou

Hey! Your date of birth is 14th December 2006. According to NDA eligibility rules, for NDA 1 2026 the candidate should be born between 2nd July 2007 to 1st July 2010, and for NDA 2 2026 the date of birth should be between 2nd January 2008 to 1st January 2011. Since your DOB is earlier than this range, you are not eligible for NDA 1 & 2 in 2026. You may become eligible for the next cycle, most likely NDA 1 2027.

Hello,

Sorry, according to your date of birth, you are not eligible for both of the NDA 1 & NDA 2 exams in 2026. Because for the NDA 1 2026 exam, your DOB should be between 2nd July 2007 and 1st July 2010. For the NDA 2 2026 exam, your DOB should be between 2nd January 2008 and 1st January 2011. And your date of birth doesn't meet any of these criteria.

I hope it will clear your query!!

Hello

so , You said you were born on 14.12.2006, as of your age you are not eligible for the exam

Eligibility Criteria - NDA 1 - DOB( 2 July 2007 – 1 July 2010 )

NDA 2 - DOB (2 Jan 2008 – 1 Jan 2011 )

Options For you - You’ll have to wait for NDA 1 , 2027 and NDA 2 , 2027 when the age window shifts back by around one year .You should complete your class 12 and focus on academics

hope this helps

Hey Vishal:)

Thanks for reaching out!

With your date of  birth of  14 December 2006, you cross the upper age limit set by UPSC for NDA 2026. For NDA- I 2026 only candidates born  between 2nd July 2007 and 1 july 2010 are eligible, and for NDA - II, the range is from 2 January 2008 to 1 January 2011.

Since your date of birth comes before these cutoffs, you cross the age limit of about 19 1/2 years by mid 2026 making you ineligible for both attempts

However, you can target exams like CDS after graduation, AFCAT or navy graduate entries for joining the armed forces.

Hope this helps!
