Can a Intermediate 2nd year student from private college of state syllabus is eligible to apply for NDA examination? If not, then what should he/she do to become eligible to apply for NDA examination?

NDA stands for National Defence Academy and to join the same one is required to qualify NDA examination which is held twice every year by UPSC.

Further, the appearing in the same examination, the minimum education required is a regular higher secondary school degree i.e; Class 12th in any discipline from a recognised board of education.

So, having completed your Class 12th in private mode i.e; through open schooling, you are not eligible to apply for NDA entrance examination as for the same examination, candidates having completed their Class 12th through open schooling or having opted for diploma courses are not eligible.
