Hello,

No, you are not eligible for the NDA 2026 exam. For NDA 1 2026, candidates must be born between 2nd July 2007 and 1st July 2010.

For NDA 2 2026, the required date of birth is between 2nd January 2008 and 1st January 2011. Since your date of birth is 1st January 2007, you do not meet the age criteria for either exam.

Hope it helps !

Yes, Fay—you’re eligible for NDA 1 in 2026, but not for NDA 2.

Here’s the details

NDA 2026 Age Eligibility

NDA Session    Date of Birth Range Allowed    Your DOB (1 Jan 2007)    Eligibility

NDA 1    2 July 2007 to 1 July 2010   Within range    Eligible

NDA 2    2 Jan 2008 to 1 July 2011    Too old    Not Eligible

So you can apply for NDA 1, which will be held on 12 April 2026. The application window opens on 10 December 2025 and closes on 30 December 2025
