Hello Aspirant,

As per your Date of Birth mentioned by you in the question your age is coming to be 19 years in 2022.

Now let me clear you that there are two eligibility requirements released by UPSC which says that :-

** the candidate should be in the age range of 16.5-19.5 years according to which you are eligible for NDA 2022.

** the candidate should have born between July 2, 2004, to July 1, 2007 for NDA 1/2022 and between January 2, 2005, to January 1, 2008 for NDA 2/2022, according to which you are not eligible for NDA 2022.

Now there is a condition that if any candidate is unable to qualify both the points said above then the candidate will not be considered as eligible for NDA.

Therefore according to your DoB you do not satisfy the second criteria so unfortunately you will not be eligible for NDA.

I hope this information helps you.

Good Luck!!

Hi

No, you are not eligible for NDA , 2022

This is because,

To be eligible for nda 1,2022 examination , you should have born between July 2, 2004, to July 1, 2007  but you fail to fulfill this criteria with your date of birth on  8-5-2003

You can check NDA eligibility criteria which is provided below:-

NDA eligibility criteria says that:-

* For army , candidates with educational  qualification of 10 + 2 in any stream  are eligible. To be eligible for NDA examination for Navy and Air force, only candidates having educational  qualification of 10 + 2 with Physics and Maths are  eligible.

*one must be  in the age group of 16.5 to 19.5 years old to be eligible.
