Hello everyone, I want to give NDA entrance exam. Right now I am studying in 12th standard with Science stream. I have heard that there are very much importance of 12th marks in NDA. Id it true? If it is, then please tell me what is that?

No, the 12th standard board examination marks doesn't play an important role in NDA recruitment process. Only 12th standard is set as an minimum educational qualification to be eligible to appear in NDA examination but, the marks doesn't have an importance. Candidates who have passed 12th standard from a Government recognised board and unmarried male candidates those who are in the age range of 16.5 to 19.5 years are eligible to appear in NDA examination.

No, 12th marks are not that much important for appearing in NDA Exam.
