Dear candidate,

There are no such fix books to prepare for NDA exam. But to get a very good score in this exam you need determination and hard work. Make a proper strategy. Study daily for at least 5-6 hours. Don't study for long hours. Make slots and after each slot give yourself a rest.

There are mainly two portions in this exam. One is General Ability and the second in Mathematics. For the M athematics portion, you can follow Cengage Mathematics or RD Sharma Maths book. These are enough to score 250+ in maths portion.

For General Knowledge portion, you can refer to 'Lucent's GK' book. Thia is a very good book. And also, for the English portion, refer to ' Lucent's English' book.

For the History, Geography, Politics and other portion just read their respective NCERT books of 9th and 10th class. These will be enough to get a good score.

The best way to get good marks in this exam is that, Solve previous year NDA papers . More the papers you solve, the better your score will be. To check the previous year NDA papers, please refer to the link given below.
