Dear fellow!!!!!!
You can not appear in the NDA & CDS exams,As NDA required at least a 12th degree while CDS exam requires a graduation degree.
As you are in class 11th, you can not apply for these exams.
Although, class 12th student can appear for the NDA exam.

My birth date is 29/3/98 and i am currently in 11 class .will i be eligible for NDA after 12?

-> No , after completing 12th only one can eligible to apply and appear in NDA and CDS exam because this is the qualification implemented by them .
-> One should clear supplymentary exam before NDA and CDS exam getting closer because you asked to mention your 12th percentage in application form .
