NDA EXAMINATION ELIGIBILITY CRITERIA

** First of all, you have to complete your 12th class from a recognized board of education and physics, mathematics is compulsory for Indian Navy.

** The age of the applicants should be in between 16.5-19.5 years.

My suggestion to you is that you should complete your 12th class first then you can go to the National Defence Academy examination.

You cannot apply for NDA exam just after passing 10th standard.

At least, you must have passed 10+2 or appearing in 10+2 to be eligible for NDA Exam.

Along with this you must possess these requirements:

• Unmarried male candidate
• Age: 16.5 to 19 years

If you meet above requirements, then you can apply for NDA exam.

As you have just passed 10th standard now, so currently you cannot apply for NDA Exam.

No, you are not eligible to apply for NDA examination being a 10th standard student. The minimum educational qualification required to apply for NDA examination is completion of 12th standard or an equivalent examination from a government recognised board. You should be an unmarried male candidate in the age range of 16.5 to 19.5 years. So, being a 10th standard student, you are not eligible to apply for NDA examination.

10th passed student is not eligible to apply for NDA examination because as per the minimum eligibility criteria, a candidate must have passed 10 + 2 from a recognised board with at least 60% marks in PCM stream.

Eligibility to apply for NDA examination:

Qualification: 10+2 with PCM stream with at least 50% marks from a recognised board.
