When you get chose for NDA, you are being chosen for one of the three military. Your aggregate preparing period would be four years and you would get a BA/BSc degree on finish of three years of preparing in NDA. The most recent one year would be in IMA/INA/AFA relying upon what you had been chosen for.

On finish of four years, you would be charged as an officer. You would be a Lieutenant in Army, Sub-Lieutenant in Navy or Flying Officer in the Air constrain. At the present rates (sixth CPC), your gross pay at this stage would be to the tune of around 60000 or more for every month. Obviously, you do get some stipend too amid the most recent year of preparing.
