syllabus of which class come in N.D.A. ?

IF i have to go in engineering branch of INDIAN AIRFORCE what i should do?

Syllabus, is nothing out of class 11th and 12th CBSE. Even the Mathematics paper of 300 marks in NDA is much alike what are asked in CBSE exam. And all the question are based on NCERT books and R.S. Agarwal also.

Questiona are not tough, its normal for what you had studied in your class 11 and 12, either its Maths or Physic & Chemistry.

Now, if you want to go for engineering then way to success will be made more easier for you in NDA.

First, there will be 900 marks written test for NDA, then the qualiifed candidtaes will be called for SSB, then MEdical test and will start training if got selected. You will be trained in NCA for 3 years, during this period you will also have oppurtunity to persue bachelor degree. Generally BA, B.sc in Defence Strategy are awarded. But if your 12th result are good enough, you will be provided oppurtunity in the 3rd year to appear for entrance like- IITJEE, AIEEE etc. and guess what you will also be trained and coached for cracking these entrance, if successfully able to crack then you can persue B.Tech at any IIT's or NIT's.

But if you wont able to crack then another oppurtunity will be there in form of TES (Technical Entry Scheme). Its for candidate having at least 75% aggregate in PCM. Then direct entry into B.Tech at one of the best Army, Navy and Airforce engineering college.

So, oppurtunities are many, you just need the talent and right time to grab them

The syllabus of this exam is basically from the 12th standard. You need to have studied both Maths and Chemistry and also Physics during 12th standard. You need to prepare based the CBSE level of questions. You need to solve the previous year papers as it will give you a better idea of what kind of questions can be expected. If you have a good score over 75% in 12th then you need not appear for this exam as you are eligible to join in directly.

dear friend
