The NDA test preparation is sure to be a tough call as it is the only entrance examination that
qualifies applicants for the National Defense Academy (NDA) – the national academy which provides
training for getting into the Indian Army, Navy as well as Air Forces.
The NDA Entrance Examination is organized by the UPSC and is held twice every year – in April and in
September. Before appearing for the NDA Entrance, applicants must ensure that they are unmarried
males.
1. Stay updated – As part of the NDA test preparation, the applicants should regularly update
themselves on the current affairs of the nation. They should be physically fit enough to
appear for the NA test preparation. Moreover, they need to work on their communication
skills as well. The entrants must keep in mind that apart from a written examination, group
discussions, personal interview and medical fitness rounds are part of the selection
procedure as well. Therefore, candidates need to carry out the NDA test preparation
accordingly. Once they clear the cut-off in the written test, applicants qualify for the next
rounds. Therefore, it would not suffice to concentrate on the academic portions only.

mental conditions and free of any disease. Accordingly, they must get into a fitness regime

Examinations from reputed board. They can apply for the NDA examinations even while
