Hello everyone, I have completed my Diploma as well as BTech in Mechanical Engineering. I want to apply for NDA exam. So, I would like to know about my eligibility for appearing in NDA exam. Please let me know about my eligibility asap. Thank you!

NDA refers to National Defense Academy and to join the same you need to qualify NDA entrance examination held by UPSC twice every year.

Further, the minimum education required for pursuing NDA entrance examination is a higher secondary school degree in any discipline from a recognized board.

So, having pursued diploma in engineering degree instead of regular higher secondary school degree you are not eligible for joining NDA as for joining NDA only regular higher secondary school degree holder are eligible.

But, as you have completed your Bachelor of Technology in Mechanical engineering degree course then you can look for the option of CDS ( Combined Defense Services ) to join Indian defense services as a commissioned officer.

For more details regarding NDA or CDS entrance examinations, you can refer to the link www.upsc.gov.in.
