Hi Gaurav,

As you asked that are you eligible to give nda exam with commerce field then , yes you are eligible for the nda exam.

But, if you opted only plan commerce without additional maths subject, then you are eligible to apply only for the nda's army wing force and not for the air force and naval forces.

And, if you also had opted maths in addition to commerce then you can apply for all the 3 forces by nda exam.

Also, for appearing in the exam to have to clear 10+2 exams or can apply when you are in the last year of it.

Good luck.
