Dear Tushar,

The required height for NDA is determined by the stream or wing you are applying for. The height parameters are different for Army, NAVY and Air Force. The height requirement also varies from person to person, as per the age bracket and corresponding to different weights. So, if you could tell us for which wing you want to go for and what age group/weight category do you belong to, then we will be able to help you with specific information.

All the best!
