Hi,

The NDA is a much sought after and highly competitive exam to get into the prestigious armed forces.Its good to start preparation a year in advance. The written examination is MCQ (Multiple Choice Question) styled. The examination can be said to be consisting of broadly 3 main parts- Mathematics, English and General Knowledge. Firstly get your basics clear and, consider solving as many question papers that you can lay your hands upon. The trend so far has been that the blueprint of the written examination has not changed significantly over all these years. Guide books, tailor made for NDA aspirants will be useful.One of the best guide book is the one published by Arihant Publication house. It usually covers each and every topic associated with the written examination. Also, as an added bonus, it also contains question papers from previous years. Read up on general knowledge ( you can choose Lucent for this purpose) and be abreast with current affairs. Before the exam,Try mastering the shortcut methods and save time. Don’t waste time solving a question that you don’t have any idea about. Alternatively, there are good coaching hubs such as cavaliers and olive greens for this purpose.

All the best!!
