You have tagged NATIONAL DEFENCE ACADEMY in your question, but NDA don't offer admission on the basis of MAHCET but for admission UPSC conducts separate examination twice a year known as NDA-I and NDA-2. I think you are asking about any other college. I would recommend you to repost the question with proper name of the college so that we can provide you the info needed.
