The full form of NDA is National Defence Academy. NDA/NA examination is conducted by Union Public Service Commission.

1. The important eligibility criteria for NDA exam is that female candidates can not apply for this exam.

Female candidates who want to join Armed forces can apply for CDS, AFCAT exams.

According to guidelines set by UPSC for NDA,
  • Only unmarried male candidates can apply for NDA Exam.

So, a female candidate or a girl cannot apply for NDA Exam.

However, if you wish to join Defence field of India anyhow then you can apply for OTA (through CDS Exam) after completing your graduation.

OTA stands for Officer's Training Academy.

You can apply for CDS exam even if you are in final year of your graduation.

No you are not eligible to apply for NDA examination being a female candidate. To be eligible to apply for NDA examination, you should have passed 12th standard or an equivalent examination in any stream 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 female candidate, you are not eligible to apply for NDA Examination as per the UPSC NDA examination notification.
