why girls are not eligible for nda test even if they have the capability to do....???

hi..rahul.k
you have just said that girls are not eligible for nda...so i request you to plzzz give me the reason that why girls are not eligible...?????

Girls are not allowed for nda exam. only boys are allowed.
because eligibility is :-
Only unmarried male candidates born not earlier than 2nd January, 1993 and not later than 1st July, 1995 are eligible.

I am sorry to inform you that girl candidate are not eligible for NDA.

But if you are graduate then you can apply for Defence Forces through other entry scheme.

For example

1. CDSE

2. AFCT

3. Direct SSB

etc...

For complete detail please visit official website of defence forces.

All the Best...

Sorry girls are not eligible for NDA exam you can read this eligibility:-

Conditions of eligibility

Age limits, sex and marital status:Only unmarried male candidates born not earlier than 2nd July, 1993 and not later than 1st January, 1996 are eligible

Hi dear,
As per the eligibility criteria of the NDA exam girls are not eligible to appear
for the NDA exam. Only the male candidate are eligible to apply for the NDA
exam.
Candidate who have passed the 10+2 examination and have age between
16½ - 19 years are eligible to apply for the NDA exam.

Girls can apply for the defense as an officer. To apply for the defence
services as an officer you should have to be graduate first. After
the graduation you can apply for the Indian Army, Air force and Navy as
an officer through CDSE exam.

Candidates having graduation are eligible to apply for the CDSE examination.
Candidates having degree in engineering are also eligible to apply for the
CDSE exam.

Candidate who appeared in the CDSE exam should have age between
19 to 24 for IMA.
19 to 23 for Air force and
19 to 22 for Naval Academy.

So you are not eligible for the NDA examination but you can apply for the
defence service after the completion of your graduation as an officer
through above entry scheme.

Thanks

No, girls cannot apply for NDA exam as it is only eligible for unmarried male candidates lying in the age of 16n a half to 19years.

hello dear,
Girls Can definately apply for the NDA but only after gradution and the female candidates can only work for 7 service as in(ssc) and after that if they want to increase their service period then they can only for 4 or more year.

forms can be easily available on the site or fron the vendors( like form stationary shop) or form the post office. mainly forms are available on the month of feb ar march. so keep check on everything.
some time info regarding forms are available in the newspaper also...

No, only Unmarried male candidates of age between 17 to 19 1/2 years XII Class/Equivalent passed certificate conducted by State Board/Universities are eligible to join NDA.

No girls are not eligible to appear for NDA exam.

Only the candidates who are unmarried male candidates are eligible to appear for NDA exam.

So anyway there are some other ways through which girls can join Indian army.

That is through CDSE (Combined Defense Services) Exam.

But in order to be eligible for this, one should have completed her graduation.

The other one is SSB Entry. This will be possible if a girl has NCC C certificate.

There is a reason which seems to be certain in

selection for NDA will be done at the age of 17-18 ,

as per the laws

Girls are said to have the supervision and protection from his guardian/parent

they require attention of their beloved parents

so as to join for NDA male candidates can be left in hostels but female candidates are not that rough and tough persons

so they need continous protection till they cross their minor status

may be this is the one of the reason why the female candidates are not allowed to write the NDA exam

We can't say this is the perfect reason but this may be the one of the reason why the defense academy thinks that the girls are not eligible at that age

No need to worry

girls after their major status can come into armed forces like

military

navy and army

through an exam called SSC(Staff selection committee)

So wait for it

this exam should be written after your graduation..

So be regularly updated with forum and other medias

Regards

~aditya~
