Hello everyone, i just want to know that is the written exam of NDA difficult and how can i clear it easily and what after i have cleared it, infact i want to know the whole procedure how to get into the indian army......waiting for answers.....Regards.

NDA exam conducted in objective model is carried out for 900 marks. Mathematics and general ability forms the syllabus of the exam. The exam will be quite easy and questions will be of 12th class standard. Those who qualify the written exam will be called for physical and medical test. Qualified candidates at this level will undergo a training process before placement.

Is the nda written exam purely based on 12th?If not how much should i study?

NDA stands for National Defence Academy;
The written examination will be held twice in a year. April-May and Sep-Oct;
Written Examination consists of two papers
1.Mathematics (Objective)>>300 marks
2.General ability (Objective)>>>600 marks
The exam papers will be very easy because they are only of 10+2 grade;
solving the previous papers will help you to get familiar with the pattern of exams.
I'm attaching some previous years papers.Hope they will help you;
All the best;
