Hello,

This is the right time to start your preparations to reach your goal. But, before you proceed to join NDA (https://unacademy.com/content/nda/notification/eligibility/) , make sure you are aware of a few basic criteria:

  • The minimum qualification is either a 12th pass or the one who is appearing for 12th exams.

  • While choosing your stream, make yourself clear that the Indian Airforce and Navy requires you to have a Mathematics background whereas the Indian Army does not require such subject preferences. So, be clear while choosing the stream in grade 11.

Now, as you want to join NDA and you have just passed 10th, you have ample time to prepare for the exam. You can start watching videos related to Maths and GAT. Please start your preparation by referring to NCERT books as they are the best and the most reliable source. Based on my personal experience, I would suggest the courses offered by Unacademy (an E-learning platform) which will be of great help in your preparation. Iconic subscription (https://unacademy.com/goal/nda/DANNJ) provides video lectures, online live sessions, and mock interview sessions along with mock tests.Trust me they will be of great help while appearing for your prelims and SSB too. Aim for the best as we all deserve it!

Good luck
