    Hey friend,

    It is to inform you that you are not eligible for writing the NDA exam as on the reason that you are not satisfying the Martial status needed for the exam

    The needed Martial status needed for the exam is that you need to be a unmarried male candidate

    As you are girl you are not eligible for the exam.There are other criteria's which are needed to be satisfied for the exam in order to apply for the exam and they are:

    > Nationality
    > Age Limit
    > Education Qualification
    > Physical Standard

    There is nothing to be regarded about those as you are not satisfying the Martial Status needed itself for the exam

    You can get more info at www.upsc.gov.in

    Re: Are girl candidates eligible to appear in NDA exams conducted by UPSC?

    Hello,
    Sorry Friend but girl candidates are not eligible to appear for the NDA & NA Exam Since National Defence Academy doesn't recruit girls.
    NDA & NA Exam is conducted by UPSC twice a year for the recruitment of male candidates in the Indian Army, Indian Navy, Indian Air Force wings of NDA.

    If you are so eager to join Defence you can apply for CDS Exam (Combined Defence Services)after graduation.
    CDS Exam is conducted by UPSC twice a year for the recruitment of candidates in the Indian Military Academy (IMA), Naval Academy (NA), Air Force Academy (AFA), Officers Training Academy (OTA).

    The Eligibility Criteria for CDS Exam are as follows:
    --> The candidate must be Indian.
    --> The candidate should be unmarried
    --> The age of candidate should lie in between 19-24 years.

    --> Educational Qualification for different wings is as follows:
    (i) For I.M.A. and OTA: Degree of a recognized University or equivalent.
    (ii) For Indian Naval Academy: Degree in Engineering.
    (iii) For Air Force Academy: Degree of a recognized University (with Physics and Mathematics at 10+2 level) or Bachelor of Engineering.
    Final year students can also apply.

    No, you are not eligible to give NDA Exam.

    Only male unmarried candidates are eligible to give NDA-II Exam.

    As you are a female candidate, you are not eligible to give NDA Exam.

    To give NDA Exams, candidate should be unmarried male with minimum 16.5 years and maximum 19 years, and should have passed 12th class or appearing 12th class.

    For Army wing: 12th class pass from recognized board.

    For Airforce,and Navy wing: 12th class pass with physics and maths as their subjects from recognized board.

    But you need not worry about this, if you are really interested in these services, you can give CDS Exam.

    But to give CDS Exam, one should complete degree from recognized University.

    And as you are a female candidate, you are eligible for only OTA post.

    So, give CDS Exam, after completion of your degree.

    Re: Are girl candidates eligible to appear in NDA exams conducted by UPSC?

    No girls are never eligible to apply for the NDA examination because there is no option in the gender section in the NDA examination for the girls so it will be better for you to wait for some years and after that apply for the CDS examination because NDA is not for the girls.
    To apply for the CDS examination you need to have graduation in any discipline to apply for the indian millitary academy and Officers training academy.
    CDS stands for the combined defence services examination that is conducted twice by the UPSC india.
    your age must be 19 to 22 years for the indian naval academy.
    For indian air force academy 19 to 23 years of age is required.
    19 to 24years for the IMA.
    19 to 25 years for the OTA.
    There will be no age relaxation for the same.
    Selection procedure is here-
    Written test.
    SSB interview.
    MEdical examination.
    To apply for the air force and navy you need to be a graduate in physics and maths or engineering.You need to be unmarried .
    For more details log on to www.upsc.gov.in
    Thank you.
