Hello aspirant,

No, you will not be qualified to take the 2026 NDA exam.  According to the age requirements, applicants must be between 16.5 and 19.5 years old when the course starts.  You would be over 19.5 years old by 2026 due to your birthdate of January 8, 2007, which would exclude you from taking the NDA exam that year.

Thank you

Hope it helps you

Hello,

Yes, you can appear for NDA 1 2026.

According to the eligibility criteria, candidates must be born between 2nd July 2007 and 1st July 2010 to apply for NDA 1 2026.

Since your date of birth is 8th January 2007, you fall outside this age range and are not eligible for NDA 1 2026. However, you may be eligible for NDA 2 2026, as the age limit for that exam is from 2nd January 2008 to 1st July 2011. Therefore, you can apply for NDA 2 2026.

Hope it helps !
