According to the current eligibility criteria set up by UPSC, the body which conducts the NDA examination a candidate needs to be aged between 16.5 to 19.5 years in order to write the examination. So talking about NDA 2 2022 exam, the candidates born between January 02, 2004, and January 01, 2007, are eligible for the same.

Following this you would not be eligible for NDA examination 2 of this year.
