but if you are interested in defence services you can give CDS exam but for that you must be graduate.
for other information regarding CDS exam you can log on to official site of UPSC or CDS....

thanx and gud luck

Sorry 22 years old can not apply for NDA examination.

If you have completed 10+2 then you can apply for NDA but age should be according to the NDA rules.

For Air Force and Navy you need to complete 10+2 with Physics and Mathematics.

So if you want to join Indian Defence then you have to complete Graduation and then apply for CDS examination or you can go for Non Officers posts like clerk , nursing assistant and soldier etc.

The age required for NDA is 16.5 to 19 years and unmarried males are only eligible for the exam.

The NDA examination will have an objective type paper and SSB Interview.

The Objective Type Paper will have questions from English, Physics , Maths, Science, Reasoning, General Knowledge and General Awareness. It will be of 900 marks.

Those who pass the objective type paper with merit will be called for SSB Interview.

SSB will be also of 900 marks and you have to complete various Group Tasks and have to face interview.

In the end those who are merit list will be selected after the medical examination.

Dear aspirant, As per your age you cannot apply for National defence academy examination because you have crossed the age limit of NDA examination that is 16.5 to 19 years of age. And qualification for that should be 10 2 in any stream to apply for indian army and 10 2 with maths and physics to apply for navy and air force. Girls are not eligible. Candidate must be indian and should not have any criminal records. Candidates should be unmarried. So my recommendation is you need to complete the graduation and after that apply for CDS. CDS is an combined defence services examination conducted twice in a year by union public service commission and it is notified into employement news and official website www.upsc.gov.in. It requires graduation for army and graduation in physics,maths and engineering to apply for air force and navy. Age limits for OTA 19 to 25 years, for IMA 19 to 24 years, for air force academy 19 to 23 years and for naval academy 19 to 22 years of age. Selection is typically based on written examination, SSB interview and medical examination for final selection. For more details visit www.upsc.gov.in Thank you.

IMPOSSIBLE !!

There is no possibility to enter into the field of civil services after 12th and through NDA because the age limit for NDA should lies between 16.5 to 19 years and therefore your age is not acceptable so you have to try through another UPSC entrance exam.

There are lots of entrance exams which is taken by the UPSC for the civil services so you can try through another but through NDA ;it is impossible.I think the CDS (Combined Defense Services) which is taken by the UPSC is also for the civil services so you can try for it.

But the thing is that your age should lies between 19 to 22.5 years.And you should be graduate because only the graduate students can apply for CDS.

Thank u!!

Hello- vikash very nice you have the passion to join in entrance examination conducted by UPSC for NDA.

After completing graduation you can apply for CDS. My best wishes with you , best of luck.

-- At the age of 22 the possibility of appearing in NDA exam is zero.

-- It is because of age limit.

-- The age limit for appearing in this exam is 16.5 to 19 years.

-- You are now 22 so you are now not eligible.

-- When you were eligible that time you have not applied.

-- Now if you are graduate then can apply for CDS exam.

-- It has age limit of 19-25 years.

-- So this is also a good option to join defence forces.

It is not possible to join the NDA at this age. The age of 22 years is far above the age of 19 years which is the last upper age limit. At this stage, you should think about applying for CDS Examination only. If you are graduate, then you must apply for CDS Examination. And if you are not graduate, then you have no hope neither for NDA Examination nor CDS Examination. Then you should try to search job in non-defence sector as per your qualification and caliber.
