What are the qualifications for joining the National Defence Academy (NDA) for a student with a degree in arts and humanities?


The National Defence Academy (NDA) in India is a premier joint training institution for the Indian Armed Forces. Here are the general qualifications and eligibility criteria for joining the NDA, regardless of the specific academic background:

  1. Nationality: The candidate must be a citizen of India, a subject of Nepal, or a person of Indian origin who has migrated from Pakistan, Burma, Sri Lanka, and East African countries with the intention of permanently settling in India.
  2. Age Limit: Candidates must be between 16.5 and 19.5 years of age. The exact age limits vary slightly with each examination cycle.
  3. Educational Qualifications:For Army Wing of NDA: A candidate must have passed the 12th class of the 10+2 pattern of school education or equivalent examination conducted by a State Education Board or a University.For Air Force and Naval Wings of NDA and for the 10+2 Cadet Entry Scheme at the Indian Naval Academy: A candidate must have passed the 12th class of the 10+2 pattern of school education with Physics and Mathematics conducted by a State Education Board or a University.Candidates who are appearing in the 12th class under the 10+2 pattern of school education or equivalent examination can also apply.

  5. Physical Standards: Candidates must be physically fit according to the physical standards for admission to the NDA and Naval Academy Examination as prescribed by the National Defence Academy and Naval Academy Examination (II) guidelines.
  6. Selection Process: The selection process consists of a written examination conducted by the Union Public Service Commission (UPSC), followed by an interview conducted by the Services Selection Board (SSB) to assess the candidate’s suitability for a career in the Armed Forces.The written examination includes two papers: Mathematics and General Ability Test (GAT).Candidates who qualify in the written examination are called for the SSB interview, which includes psychological tests, group tasks, and a personal interview.

For a student with a degree in arts and humanities, meeting the educational qualification specifically for the Army Wing of NDA would be the requirement since the Air Force and Naval Wings require a background in Physics and Mathematics. However, if you have completed your 12th standard in any stream and meet the other eligibility criteria, you can apply for the NDA examination.

For the most accurate and updated information, it's best to refer to the official UPSC NDA notification for the specific year you intend to apply.
