sir,
I have passed the 10th examination and
now I am doing polytechnic.
I have not done or appearing for 12th .
so can I join the NDA on the basis of 10th ?

No, you cannot join in National Defence Academy (NDA) on the basis of 10th standard. To join in National Defence Academy (NDA), you need to appear for NDA entrance examination which is conducted by UPSC every year.

Eligibility Criteria :-

1. You must be a citizen of India.

2. You must have attained the age of 16 1/2 years and must have not attained the age of 19 years.

3. You must have completed 12th standard or equivalent in any stream from a recognised board.

4. You must be an Unmarried Male candidate.

By satisfying all the above mentioned conditions, you are eligible to appear for NDA examination. Since, you have not completed 12th standard from a recognised board, you are not eligible to appear for NDA examination.
