NDA Exam Pattern
The Union Public Service Commission carries out the National Defence Academy examination twice annually. The main aim of this exam is to recruit candidates into the Army, Air Force and Naval Wings of the NDA. This defense academy is located in Pune. After the completion of the training period, the NDA provides the students with a graduate degree in Arts, Science or Computer Science. Candidates can provide their choices at the time of applying, but the final decision will on the basis of the merit list.
The basic criteria required for a person to join the NDA are that he should be unmarried. It is also not possible for him to marry during the period of training. The other medical and physical standards are alike the other UPSC exams. The NDA exam has two levels. The first level is the written test. Once a candidate passes this level, they will be called in to the second level. The second level is an interview that is carried out by the Services Selection Board. The overall marks a person will be judged will be out of 1800.
