Hello,

To be eligible for the NDA (National Defence Academy) exam, you must meet specific age and education criteria. Since you were born on February 21, 2010 , here’s when you can apply:

1. Age Requirement :

   • The NDA exam requires candidates to be 16.5 to 19.5 years old on the date of commencement of the course.
   • For NDA (I) exams, you need to be between January 2, 2006, and July 1, 2009 .
   • For NDA (II) exams, your birth date should fall between July 2, 2006, and January 1, 2010 .

2. Education Requirement :

   Recommended
   • You must complete Class 12 or an equivalent by the time you apply.

3. Earliest Attempt :

   • You’ll be eligible around August 2027 (NDA II) when you’re 17.5 years old.
   • Your last chance will likely be April 2029 (NDA I) before reaching the upper age limit of 19.5.

Hope it helps !

Hello aspirant,

The ideal age range for a candidate is 16½ to 19½. Students must have been born between July 2, 2006, and July 1, 2009, in order to be eligible for NDA I 2025. - Students enrolled in NDA II 2025 must have been born between January 2, 2007, and January 1, 2010.

So you are not eligible in 2025 for NDA.

Thank you
