Your First Step Towards NDA Begins Here

Becoming an officer in the Indian Armed Forces is not just a career choice—it is a commitment to serve the nation with honor, discipline, and courage. For thousands of young aspirants, the National Defence Academy (NDA) is the first and most prestigious gateway to achieve this dream. If you are a student of Class 10, 11, or 12 and dream of wearing the uniform, your journey starts right here.

What is the NDA?

The National Defence Academy (NDA) is the world’s first tri-service academy where cadets of the Indian Army, Indian Navy, and Indian Air Force train together before going on to their respective service academies. NDA not only builds physical strength and academic excellence but also shapes leadership, discipline, and officer-like qualities.

Clearing NDA means stepping into a life of pride, respect, and responsibility.
