Hi Suma,

The National Defense Academy examination is held for admissions to the different defense wing colleges in India. For the medical fitness, your vision should be 6/6 for the  better eye and 6/9 for the  worse eye without glasses and 6/6 in both the eyes with glasses. If you fail to meet  these criteria, you are not eligible to join the NDA.
