Hello,

There are two sections in NDA entrance exam

1. Mathematics

2. General Ability

Under general ability there are sub-sections which are as follows

  • Section A- Physics
  • Section-B-Chemistry
  • Section C- General Science
  • Section D-History, freedom movement etc
  • Section E- Geography
  • Section F- Current Affairs

Under General Science you have topics like

  • Difference between the living and non-living.
  • The Solar System: Meteors and Comets, Eclipses. Achievements of Eminent Scientists.
  • Basis of Life—Cells, Protoplasms and Tissues.
  • Elementary knowledge of Human Body and its important organs.
  • Food: Source of Energy for man. Constituents of food, Balanced Diet.
  • Common Epidemics, their causes and prevention.
  • Growth and Reproduction in Plants and Animals.
  • Food: Source of Energy for man. Constituents of food, Balanced Diet.

So under Section-C in General Ability you will have Biology but it is not Intermediate level. These are basic topics which you should learn. To prepare for General Studies you can refer NCERT Science Textbook from class 6-class 10. That is enough because GS carries 10% of weightage.
