Hello,

Sorry, but you aren't eligible for the NDA 1 exam in 2026. According to the NDA 1 exam 2026, candidates must be born between July 2, 2007, and July 1, 2010. Means fall outside of this range according to your date of birth. But, you are eligible for the NDA 2 exam in 2026.

I hope it will clear your query!!

Hi dear candidate,

If your DOB is 7 April, 2007 then you are NOT eligible for NDA 1 and 2 exam in 2026 because the DOB limit is between 02.07.2007 and 02.07.2010 thus, the NDA 2 exam 2025 was your last chance to appear for NDA exam. The registrations for NDA 2 exam 2025 were closed on 20th June 2025 and the exam is in September 2025.

Now since you are NO longer eligible for NDA exams, you should try for other exams like CDS or CRPF/ CAPF as the backup options because you are eligible for these as of now.

BEST REGARDS

Hello,

No, you are not eligible for either NDA 1 or NDA 2 in 2026 based on your birthdate of 7/4/2007.

NDA 1 2026:

The age criteria for NDA 1 2026 is for candidates born between July 2, 2007, and July 1, 2010. According to Centurion Defence Academy, UPSC.

NDA 2 2026:

The age criteria for NDA 2 2026 is for candidates born between January 2, 2008, and July 1, 2011. According to Careers360, UPSC.

Since your birthdate falls outside of these ranges, you do not meet the age eligibility criteria for either exam.

Thank you!!
