Greetings!

NDA is an entrance exam for various army , air force related courses. The major eligibility criteria for this is you must have passed 12 th with physics and maths as necessary subjects .  But as you are in class11 , so the authorities will not allow you to sit in the examination hall and appear for that. You can register for it next year i.e. 2023 as in that year you will be in class12 and it is also beneficial for you as you will have enough knowledge of your both class syllabus.

Hope this will help you.

Hello aspirant,

Even though the lowest age criteria for NDA is 15 years, the educational qualifications for writing the exam restricts you from writing the exam. According to the NDA educational qualification criteria, you need complete your 10+2, and produce the 10+2 passing certificate in the application form. You may apply to the exam after completion of your 12th grade.

Hope this helps you,

Good luck, Thank you:)
