Hi Sir, now I am 17 years old and studying in 12th standard. I am interested to join in NDA. I want to get the relevant details about NDA. Now a days Engineering has become widely popular among students and parents but there is no guarantee to get jobs. So, my thought is I want to go for Defence Service in my future. So I think that NDA is the best choice for me.
