Defence Exam, NDA is organized by UPSC every year for unmarried male candidates only.

Maturity is not the basis on which they are declared to be ineligible for NDA Exam.

Actually, UPSC has defined eligibility criteria on the basis of which only unmarried male candidates are eligible to appear for this exam.

Also, the age of the candidate must be between 16.5 to 19 years.

Additionally, the candidates who are 12th passed or appearing can appear for NDA Exam.

There might be several reasons for which the girls are not allowed for NDA Exam. We are not sure of those reasons. Only UPSC will aware of it as UPSC will prescribe the eligibility criteria for NDA Exam.

We will only follow the notification that UPSC releases and as per that if we are eligible, then we apply for NDA Exam.

What I am thinking is, there are physical tests to get jobs in NDA which girls may not fulfill.

This might be the reason why girls are not allowed to join NDA.
