    The minimum age for NDA is 16.5years for all candidates without any relaxation of any kind.
    The maximum age allowed is 19.
    But keep in mind these ages are at the time of commencement of training.The actual age of applying is slightly few months less than this and is not fixed as always because the notification dates are not same every year.Anyways you can appear for NDA at an age of 16 nearly.
