NDA 2019 is to be held on 17 November 2019. UPSC has set the NDA 2019 syllabus. NDA exam is divided into two papers - Mathematics and General Aptitude. It aims at judging a candidate on his / her logical ability and general awareness.

• Mathematics paper contains 300 marks while General Ability test holds 600 marks. The written test will be of total 900 marks.
• For every incorrect response, 0.33 marks will be deducted as negative marking in the examination.
• After clearing the written test, candidates have to go through the SSB Interview. The interview process will have total 900 marks.

The question paper of Mathematics and PART B of General Ability test will be available in both English and Hindi languages. For other details, please check the link below - https://www.ndaexams.in
