Dear Aman,

The NDA eligibility criteria is decided by the UPSC . NDA Exam is a national level exam to select candidates for Air Force, Army, and Navy wings . NDA full form is National Defence Academy.

The information about the age for the NDA 2022 exam is:

1: For NDA (I) 2022, only unmarried male candidates born not earlier than 2 July 2003 and not later than 1 July 2006 are eligible.

2: For NDA (II) 2022 , Candidates must be born between January 2, 2004 - January 1, 2007 (both dates inclusive), are eligible to appear for NDA 2022 .

2: The candidates who are of 16 1/5 years or above and not more than 19 1/5 years are eligible for the exam.

Unfortunately, your age doesn't satisfy the  age criteria as described by the UPSC for NDA 2022.  Sorry to say but Unluckily you are not eligible to appear for NDA 2022. I hope this helps.
