hi manika,

you are not eligible for NDA or NA,since it is clearly given that the eligibility condition for writing NDA/NA is:

Only unmarried male candidates born not earlier than 2nd July, 1991 and not later than 1st January, 1994 are eligible.

but dont worry you can still join indian army after doing your graduation.
there are enteries such as:

CDSE and
UES

for more info visit:
www.upsc.gov.in
http://indiannavy.nic.in/

Unmarried male candidates who have passed the 12th Standard, whose age is between 16 1/2 and 19 years, would be asked to apply for selection. They should have sound physical and mental health. Girls are not considered. Physically handicapped candidates are not eligible for selection

I do not think that NDA Kadakvasala takes in girls for entry to armed forces. You would have to try through direct recruitment i suppose.

Sorry dear,NDA is not for females.

But that does'nt mean that you can not be a part of Indian defence services.

There are several other modes of entry for female cadets into Indian defense services.

You can enter through SSC (short service commission) for 10 years of service,which is also extendable upto 14 years and later on permannent commission depending upon the requirements.You have to crack an entrance for it conducted by army,navy and airforce it self.Notifications are released in employment news keep it reading.

you can also enter in there logistic cadre as well as technical cadre,the minimum qualification for logistic cadre is B.sc(pcm),BCA,LLB,etc.You have to crack an entrance for it conducted by army,navy and airforce it self.Notifications are released in employment news keep it reading.

You can also enter in 'Army medical corp' if you are an docter (mbbs).You have to crack an entrance for it conducted by army,navy and airforce it self.Notifications are released in employment news keep it reading.

For technical entry minimum qualification is BCA,B.TECH,B.SC (elctronics/mathematics).You have to crack an entrance for it conducted by army,navy and airforce it self.Notifications are released in employment news keep it reading.

sorry friend,there is no any option for girls candidates in nda exam.only unmarried male indian can apply for this post.

yes there is short service commission(SSC) for girls in NDA and if you want then you can change it to permanent commission also but for that they will consider your work and performance.

sorry MANIKA,
girls can not apply for nda.only unmarried indian male is eligible for nda examination.

yes girls too can take part in nda exams .. there are certain conditions for both gender to take nda test.. girls can join army as higher officials through nda.. for girls the competition is less

hi manika unfortunately in NDA you cannot apply but by seeing your keen intrest to join commando forces in army you can opt for SSC i.e short service commision or can get a entry into the technical line in indian army through UES scheme or you can join ITBPF and can get enrolled in it and can fulfill your dream of being a commando .so hope you will certainly find good place in armya nd serve the nation .best of luck. take care bye

Hiiii Manika sorry you can't participate in NDA or NA exam because this exam only for unmarried male....
for detail of this you can visit its website http://indiannavy.nic.in/

Only those males who are unmarried candidates who have passed the 12th Standard and whose age is between 16 1/2 and 19 years....

yes there is an opportunity for girls in NDA
But there are some specific fields of category for the girls

I do not think that NDA Kadakvasala takes in girls for entry to armed forces. You would have to try through direct recruitment i suppose. so u can not be eligible for nda ..? best of luck fr ur life

yes girls can also go for NDA.there is short service commission for girls but later on it can be changed to permanent commission.

sorry there is no opportunity for girls in nda. only 12th pass male can apply for this.

Hey manika i would appreciate the patriotic feeling which is embedded in your words but for serving your nation defense or forces are no the only way being a responsible citizen doing good in the field in which you are interested or are pursuing can serve your nation best.

NO, the first rule for admission to NDA is being male and unmarried
dont get dishearted, after your graduation you can apply for different entry schemes of army,air-force,navy to join them as officers...my cousin is also a flight lieutenant....
but commission to these departments are not-permanent.....it could be at most extended upto 14 years( medical corps lady officers are permanent)
u may also try to get in central police organisations as asst commandent

sorry dear.....
NDA is not for females.
there is a criteria that you have to be an unmarred male for this ....
but you can be a doctor after MBBS there by giving some entrance exam or be technical officer after completing your B-tech....
do best of luck for your career...

thankyou

what is ssc and kind of they have to do?

what do you mean by short service commision?

as a girl candidate,you can go on to fill vacancy of defence in many resounding fields from ssb,ekt & ues scheme

what do you mean by short service commision?

it is similar to regular defence job.. but you have to write a bond to serve for 14yrs... after that you can quit defence sevice or continue on a regular basis if you fulfilll some requirements.. after you quit after 14yrs, you can still enjoy all the benefitsof ex-defence.. like cantten facility, army quota etc..
