Hi

Yes , you are eligible for NDA examination without maths but only for army and not for navy and Airforce

This is because,

For army, you need 10+2 qualification in any stream but for navy and air force it is mandatory to have maths and physics in 10+2.

For your reference,

-------------) Now girls are also eligible for NDA , details available at https://news.careers360.com/nda-2021-sc-allows-women-appear-in-national-defence-academy-exam-slams-army-for-gender-discrimination

Hi,

Hope you are doing well.

No. Biology students can take the written exam, but they won't be able to take the SSB interview unless they have a 12th certificate from either the PCM or PCMB stream. If you are a science, commerce, or arts student, you can give NDA.entrance exam. However, only science students who have completed physics, chemistry, and math can apply for the air force and navy, while others can only apply for the army.

Hope his helps.

Good Luck!
