My son has completed his 10th Board exams and instead of doing Intermediate he wants to pursue a three year Diploma course in Computer Science. Is it possible to join NDA after this?

NDA stands for National Defense Academy and to join NDA, the minimum education required is a regular Class 12th i.e; intermediate or higher secondary school degree from a recognized board of education.

So, having opted for three year diploma in computer science course instead of regular intermediate studies, you are not eligible for appearing in the NDA examination.

For more details regarding NDA examination, you can refer to the link www.upsc.gov.in.

NDA examination is conducted for recruitment in defence service.

The examination is conducted by UPSC. It is conducted twice in a year.

The eligibility to appear in the examination is that candidate must have passed or pursuing in 12th from a recognised board. The age limit is 16.5-19.5 years. Only male candidates are eligible to appear in the examination.
