What is the process of applying for National Defence Academy after completion of degree as B.E or B.Sc Bio technology?

Hi Manisha,

I suppose you are asking this question for yourself and let me tell you being a female candidate, you are not eligible for NDA entrance exam. However, you can join in Officer Training Academy (OTA) through CDS exam which is conducted by the Union Public Service exam. Both the Unmarried Male and Female candidates are eligible to apply for the OTA exam through CDS exam.

Good luck !!
