Ok... Read it only if your age criteria is enough to get in CSE exam after 6-7 years in NDA...

Let us assume that you qualified in NDA and after that you decided to go for UPSC but you want to complete your graduation from NDA.... than I will prefer you to go in NDA from TES entry scheme and spent 3 years in NDA after that you will get posted in army as TEMPORARY COMMISSION means for a short time as you have came from TES entry..... Then when you spent your 3 years in NDA after that you join army... Then START PREPARING FROM joining in Army for UPSC..... Giving about your five years in ARMY and prepare UPSC CSE and if you got selected then ... You can take retirement easily as you are from TES scheme usually TES entry hire officers for short term for ARMY , AIRFORCE AND NAVY .....

and yes when you go for UPSC interview it will be a + point for you that you are an ex serviceman
