The foremost NDA eligibility criteria is that the candidate should be unmarried. he can’t even marry during the time of training. The others are similar to other UPSC exams.

NDA Exam Pattern :

NDA Written Exam : There will be 2 papers in NDA written exam. There  will be multiple choice questions i.e. objective types. Each question will have 4 answers & you have to mark the correct one. The marking of correct answer should be done correctly. You have to darken the circle with pencil completely. The answer sheet is checked through OCR software. So if the circle is not darkened properly then it will come blank. The 2 papers are as follows -

  • Paper I : it is of Mathematics carrying 300 marks.  It is for 2 2/2 hrs.
  • Paper II : it is divided into two parts. The first part is of English subject carrying 200 marks & second part will be of General  Ability carrying 400 marks. The duration of this paper will be 2 1/2 hrs. General Ability part is again divided into 6 sections. These are :
