Hello,

The UPSC, or Union Public Service Commission, conducts a national level test known as the NDA. The test is held twice a year in an offline manner. The test is divided into two parts: General Ability & Mathematics.

The math paper has a total weightage of 300 points, whereas the General Ability paper has a total weightage of 600 points.

There really is no distinction in difficulty between the two examinations. NDA1 and NDA 2 are set in the same way by UPSC. The difficulty level, on the other hand, can be determined dependent on when you take the test.

For instance, after completing their 12th grade, students have around 4 to 5 months to prepare for the NDA 1 exam, which is taken in September. Yet, if you are taking the exam in April, you will have a full year to prepare. This is the one thing that distinguishes NDA 1 from NDA 2 in terms of difficulty.Moreover, if you've already taken NDA 1, you will probably find NDA 2 to be much easier because you will have a better understanding as to how the paper is set.

Hope it helped
