Hello aspirant,

For NDA age limit is 16 to 19 years.

For NDA 2 in 2024, candidates must have born not earlier than January 2, 2006, and not later than January 1, 2009.

For NDA 1 in 2024, candidates should be born not earlier than July 2, 2005 and not later than July 1, 2008.

So, based on eligibilty criteria, you are not eligible for NDA 1 in 2024 because you'll get be 19 years 1 month and so you won't meet the eligibility criteria. Candidates must have passed 10+2 or equivalent exam from a recognised Board for Indian Army and Physics and Chemistry compulsory for Indian Air Force and Naval.
