Facing a compartment exam can be concerning, but it typically doesn't hurt your chances for the NDA. The main focus of the selection process is your performance on the written exam and the SSB interview.

It's important to be open about your academic history during the SSB interview. Be ready to share why you had to take the compartment exam and how you dealt with it. A positive attitude and confidence can really help you handle this situation well.
