Regarding to join in NDA being a Girl and completed +2 there is no ways as you are not satisfying the eligibility standards. The eligibility standards for the exam includes candidates satisfying nationality, martial status, age limit, educational qualification, physical standard.

As regarding that you are satisfying the educational qualification needed as having completed +2 but regarding the martial status needed, you are not satisfying it which makes you ineligible for applying.

The Martial status needed for applying for the NDA exam is only unmarried male candidate is eligible for applying.

However, the female candidate join in India Army by appearing in Combined Defence Services (CDS) examination after completing their graduation in any discipline from any recognized university or institution.

It is impossible for a Girl Candidate to join National Defense Academy and Naval Academy. Yes, Female or Women Candidates are not at all eligible to appear in NDA and NA Examination conducted by Union Public Service Commission. Only unmarried male candidates are eligible to apply for National Defense Academy Examination. There is no relaxation for girl candidates to appear in NDA Examination. If you wish to join Indian Army, Navy or Indian Air Force then I suggest you to write Combined Defense Services (CDS) Examination conducted by UPSC ever year. The minimum educational qualification required to be eligible for CDS Exam is "Graduate Degree" or Bachelor Degree in any discipline from a recognized university.

Minimum Eligibility Criteria:

>> Only Unmarried male candidates eligible for NDA and NA Examination.

>>Only unmarried male candidates can apply for the exam.

From the third eligibility criteria, you can see that only unmarried male candidates are eligible to apply for the exam, so no female candidates can apply for this exam. So there is no relaxation available for a girl in NDA/NA exam.

If a girl candidate is interested to join defense, she can apply for the Combined Defense Services at the bachelor's degree level.

Only unmarried male candidate can apply for the NDA exam.So,being girl candidate,you can't join NDA .
