Sir, currently I am doing my 12th and will appear for 12th Board exams next year. Can I appear for NDA examination now? Or, do I need to complete my 12th Board exams first and then apply for NDA exam?

NDA stands for National Defense Academy and to join the same you are required to qualify NDA entrance examination held by UPSC twice every year.

Further, the minimum education required for appearing in NDA entrance examination is a Class 12th in any discipline from a recognized board. Students going to appear in their Class 12th board examination are also eligible.

So, being a Class 12th appearing candidate, you can apply for upcoming NDA entrance examinations provided you satisfy other eligibility conditions also.
