No, you can’t apply for NDA. Those below 19 years of age can only apply. You can apply for defense after completing graduation. For this you need to qualify CDS test. Here the upper age limit is 23 years.

IAF(INDIAN AIR FORCE) or NA(NAVAL ACADEMY) aspirant, you must have PHYSICS &

MATHS in 10+2+3,. Also , you must have scored at least 60% in it.

Otherwise, you can only apply for the IMA(INDIAN MILITARY ACADEMY) & OTA(OFFICERS TRAINING ACADEMY).

Hi Aspirant

Sorry to say that you can't apply for the National Defence Services exam at the age of 20 years as for the NDA Exam the Minimum age qualifications required is 16.5 years and the maximum age required for the exam is 19 years and as you said your age is 20 years so you are not eligible for the exam now.

Better would be to apply for any other exam after your graduation as their is many exams which is like this exam so better would be to apply for any other exam.

You Can apply for the combine defence services exam which is also quite similar to this exam but just qualification changes and also the age criteria for the cds exam.

For the Cds exam the Candidate just need to be pass in the graduation degree and also for the Indian air force and Naval department you should have been pass in 12th with physics and maths but for Indian military academy and officer's training academy department you just need graduation.

The age required for this exam is between 19-25 years and also their is no provision for the age relaxation for any of the category.

Best of luck
