    Hello Dear Friend ...


    N.D.A - - - NATIONAL DEFENSE ACADEMY


    NO

    You can not apply for N.D.A at all


    Because your age is 22 years

    The minimum age is 16.5 years

    And the maximum is 19 years ...


    So your Age is more than what is Required ..


    ALL THE GOOD LUCK

    Dear Friend

    Sorry to say that there is no chances for you to give the NDA entrance examinations and join it at the age of 22 years because of the fact that the age limit for the NDA exams is 16.5 to 19 years and no relaxations is provided to any candidate of any category.

    Friend as per your query it seems that you are interested in joining the defense.Do not worry if you are a bachelor's degree holder in any discipline from a recognized university or final year bachelor's degree candidate then you can apply for the CDS exams which will give you an opportunity to give your services to the defense and hence your country.

    CDS stands for the Combined defense services examinations.It is conducted twice every year by the UPSC.

    The age limit for the exam is different for different academies:

    >>Indian Military academy:19-24 years

    >>Airforce academy:19-23 years

    >>Indian Naval academy:19-22 years

    >>Officer's training academy:19-25 years.

    At the age of 22 you are eligible for the IMA and OTA and AFA .

    Both male and female candidates are allowed to apply for the exams.You must be physically and mentally fit.

    Examination pattern:


    For any other details regarding exams you may visit www.upsc.gov.in.

    Hope the information helps you.

    all the best

    Hi

    I am really sorry to tell you that you can not apply for the NDA exam.

    Because the maximum age limit for the exam is 19 years.

    You can not join the Defence services through NDA exam.

    But you can join the Defence services through CDS exam.

    For CDS exam you must have a graduate degree from a recognized university and your age must lies in between 19-23 years.

    CDS - Combined Defence Service Commission

    The candidates have the age limit of 19-24 years so you are eligible for this exam.

    Selection of the candidates

    * Written Exam
    English
    Mathematics
    General Knowledge

    The candidates who will clear this written exam such candidates will be called for the Interview

    * Interview
    The Interview is conducted for the five days. The candidates must clear all the selection tests conducted in the Interview. It is conducted at the

    Bangalore
    Bhopal
    Allahabad

    The candidates have to attend the any of the given center and also the candidates failed in the any of the tests then such candidates will be rejected.

    * Medical Examination

    Dear friend,

    No, I am really sorry to say but you can not join NDA at the age of 22 yrs.

    NDA stands for National Defence Academy.

    The exam is held twice a year.

    As age limit for NDA is 16.5 yrs to 19 yrs and also there is no age relaxation provided in any case ,
    and you have crossed the age limit hence you can not apply.

    But dont worry friend, you have another chance to join the defence forces.

    Like NDA there is another exam called CDS. This is also conducted twice a year.

    CDS stands for Combined defence Services.

    This exam is only for graduates so you need to be a graduate to appear for the exam.

    Age limit for CDS exam:-

    19-24 Years Indian Military Academy
    19-22 Years Naval Academy
    19-23 Years Air Force Academy
    19-25 Years Officers� Training Academy

    Pattern of CDS exam:-
