No, diploma candidates are not eligible for NDA exam.

Candidates who have completed the 12th standard from a recognized board or equivalent exam are eligible for NDA exam. Final year of 12th standard candidate are eligible for NDA exam.

Your age should be in between to 16.5 years to 19.5 years.

After completion of Diploma course, you can do B.Tech course. If you completed B.Tech course then you are eligible for Indian Army, Indian Air Force and Indian Navy through CDS exam.

Union Public Services Commission has clearly mentioned that candidates who have done 10+2 from a recognized board are only eligible to apply for National Defence Academy/Naval Academy entrance examination.

Further, UPSC in its notification has mentioned that candidates seeking to join Air Force and Navy must have studied Physics and Mathematics at 12th level.

It is clear from notification of UPSC that diploma candidates are not eligible for any wing of Defence through NDA examination.

NDA stands for National Defence Academy. NDA examination is conducted every year by Union Public Service Commission.

Eligibility criteria for this examination:

Candidate must have completed 10+2 from a recognized board.

Age limit is 16.5-19.5 years.

Diploma candidates are not eligible for NDA examination.

No, candidates passed diploma degree are not eligible to appear for NDA examination. The examination is conducted by UPSC twice every year.

The eligibility to appear for examination is :-

Candidate must have passed 10+2 from any recognised board.

Only male candidates are eligible to appear for it.

So, you are not eligible to appear for examination after diploma degree.

I am a diploma holder from mechanical engineering after 10th, as diploma has been made equivalent to 12th and I have studied maths and physics too during our diploma course , then why can't we apply for nda exam ?

What about or an equivalent Examination from government recognized board?

Diploma candidates are also studied physics and math so why diploma candidates are not eligible for this exam ?
