I'm a commerce student and want to appear for nda (army force) . what all subjects will be there for the preparation? and as i don't have physics, is it necessary to give physics paper in entrance of nda?
Hi
Being commerce student, you are eligible only for Army in nda and not for Airforce & navy.
There's no seperate paper of physics in NDA, it's just that questions from physics are there in the GAT paper of NDA.
There are 2 subjects in NDA -
- Maths
- GAT.
GAT has questions from English , physics, chemistry, geography, history, current affairs, general science.
Yes, you will also have physics questions in GAT, it doesn't matter Whether you have studied it or not.
This is because,
Examination pattern is same for everyone. But it's not like you have to mandatorily attempt the physics questions, you can skip those if you want but skipping all the physics questions may make it difficult for you to get the qualifying cut off marks.
Follow the below tips to prepare for NDA Examination:-
