Dear student,

Union Public Service Commission (UPSC) is the exam conducting authority for the NDA examination. Now, for preparation for any exam you first have to know the syllabus of exam.
Nda exam will be held in offline mode and it will be held in two stages - written test and ssb.

In nda you will have two subjects mathematics ( 120 questions and 300 marks ) and general ability test ( 150 questions and 600 marks ). Each paper will bw of 150 minutes.
Also Note that there is 0.33 negative marking for every wrong answer.

Now, the other preparation tactic is that - you must know that which type of questions are asked in previous years. And solve them in real time to get the depth of your preparation. Also refer to some good study materials.

Also you must do the time management and don't panic and don't compare yourself with others.
