NDA is the short form of National Defence Academy. There are no tests or no entry scheme for candidates to join NDA after crossing 20 years. UPSC conducts 2 exams every year for the admission purpose of NDA. The minimum age for appearing for the test is 16.5 years for a general category. The only way you can join the defense now is through the Short Service Commission or CDSE scheme after completing your degree.
