Hello,

Yes, definitely you can..State board candidates are also eligible for NDA exam.
The eligibility criteria is that one must have passed class 12 or equivalent examination from a recognized board.
For Air Force and Naval wings of NDA and 10+2 Cadet entry scheme at INA one must have passed Class 12 or equivalent examination with Physics and Mathematics.

Age criteria is very important so see the information carefully :
NDA takes place twice every year :

For NDA 2, candidates must have born not earlier than January 2, 2002, and not later than January 1, 2005.

For NDA 1, candidates should be born not earlier than July 2, 2001 and not later than July 1, 2004.

I hope this helps.

Yes you can apply for NDA and if prepared properly you can clear the exam.
