Hello student!

You have not told which NDA schedule you are talking about, you are talking about NDA-2 of 2021 or NDA exam of next year(2022) is not clear so let me answer for both considering your date of birth.

According to the official site of NDA, the age criteria for NDA-2(As two papers happens in a year) 2021, is that if a student Candidates is born in between 2nd January 2002 to 1st January 2006, i.e whose age falls between 16.5 to 19.5 years can apply for it and sit in the examination.

Now with this analysis, we can conclude that, for 2022, the eligibility criteria will be something like below.

• For NDA I(2022), the candidate must be born between 2 ^nd July 2003 to 1 ^st July 2006. For NDA II, the candidate must be born between 2 ^nd January 2004 to 1 ^st January 2007.

As your date of birth fall in the range of NDA-1 only , so you can apply for that only. You may not be able to sit for NDA-2 next year which is supposed to be held in September, as your date of birth is not the subset of the limits officially given.

Dear Aspirant,

Every step is open for you to join Indian Army as a officer or soldier, lets first talk about the ways you can choose-

1- After 12th

Here you have two options, first one is to join as a soldier by participating in rally bharti of your state and the second one is that you can participate in NDA entrance examination, there is not any compulsory subject to appear in NDA for Indian Army, you can just appear for the exam. One thing is that you need to clear the Mathematics part and its compulsory to pass, so focus on your maths, rest is you have already studied like English and General Ability Test.

2- After Graduation

You can complete your graduation with any field, and can give the CDS entrance examination, no matter what you have taken in 12th.

Best Of Luck!!!

Dear student,

Please make sure that you go through the application form and admit card once again because there would have been mentioned the state, pin code of the center and some landmarks and that will make very easy to identify you which Aurangabad you have been allotted.

Not only this there is one more way that you can know your center and that by remembering what centers you chose while filling choices for your center because most probably the center will be one out your choices or if not then near to your state.

I hope this information helps you.

All the very best!!
