I am very sorry to say, but girls are not eligible to apply for this exam. Boys who are unmarried and who are between the age group of 16.5 and 19 are eligible to give this examination. In addition to that one needs to complete 12th standard too before applying for this exam.

But let me tell you that after completing graduation, you can sit for Combined Defence Services which provides excellent opportunity for young candidates interested in defence services.

This examination is conducted by the Union Public Service Commission twice every year. By giving this exam, one can apply for the following academies:-
  • Indian Military Academy
  • Indian Naval Academy
  • Air Force Academy
  • Officer's Training Academy
Not all academies are open to girls though. Out of the four mentioned above girls are eligible to apply only for the OTA Wing.

To enter the IMA and OTA, you need to have a graduate degree in any discipline of your choice from a recognized university. The subjects chosen by at graduation level are of little importance here.

The examination pattern of OTA is also slightly different from the exam pattern of IMA, INA and AFA. Here is the exam pattern for you at a glance:-
  • English- 2 hours- 100 marks
  • General Knowledge- 2 hours- 100 marks

Friend,
I am sorry. For NDA, girls are not eligible. The different eligibility criteria for selection in NDA are given as follow-
1. Age should be between 16.5 to 19 years.
2. At least intermediate cleared with any stream.
3. Male candidate
4. Unmarried candidate.

But you don't have to feel disheartened, if you have the spirit of joining the Indian Army then you can do so after graduation. There are many options after graduation for joining the defense services. Some of those options are-
1. CDS exam,
2. university entry scheme
3. Air force conducts its own exam AFCAT which girls can also give after graduation.

Girls are not eligible to appear for the NDA examination as the NDA examination is of fully technical related defense sectors and it was only for the Boys. Girls can appear for the CDS examination which is generally appeared after the completion of the Graduate degree course of study.

NDA will be conducted for only the Male candidates who are of unmarried and is conducted for the candidates of 12th students.and as you are girl you can not appear for the NDA examination.

So it is better to take up the CDS examination after the completion of the Bachelor degree or graduate degree course and you can appear for the CDS OTA recruitment which is the Officers Training Academy.

some of the requirements for OTA are:
  1. Candidates should have attained 19 years of age limit and should not exceed 23 years of age limit
  2. Candidates should have completed the Graduation degree course of study
  3. Should belong to the Citizen of India only.

So you can appear for the CDs OTA recruitment.

"sorry to say that girls are not allowed in the NDA exams."

Details informations for the "MALE" condidates.
If a male conddidates wants to go in the ARMY SECTOR then you should take science streams with maths in 11th std.
If you are from ARTS stream then you are not eligible for the NDA entrance exams and hence not eligible to join "ARMY"

The subjects which are required for the NDA entrance exams are-->>
PHYSICS,CHEMISTRY AND MATHS.
and in the ARTS streams there is no such subjects.Hence science stream is very necessary for NDA

Only then aftre you can go for the NDA entrance exams conducted for the 12th std students.

There are Fields in NDA:
1.Indian Army
2.Indian Airforce
3.Indian Navy
Eligibilty criteria for the NDA entrance exams are listed as below--->>>
