Hi

Being in class  11th right now you are not eligible as to be eligible for nda, you need to be at least class 12th board examination appearing student or should have already passed it.

If you are in class 11th right now in 2022 then you will be giving your class 11th final examination in 2023 and then you will be giving your class 12 final examination in the year 2024

I am extremely sorry but,
