    Friend, I can understand your problem. Your concern regarding candidature is valid and genuine. You are presently above the age of 18 years and below the age of 19 years. But according to the notification of UPSC, you are not eligible for NDA Examination.The main reason behind why are you not eligible for NDA Examination is that CANDIDATE MUST BE BELOW THE AGE OF 19 YEARS AT THE TIME OF COMMENCEMENT OF NDA COURSE. There may be the possibilty that your age would surely crossed the age of 19 years after final selection and commencement of NDA Course.Now you are advised to look for CDS Examination after completion of graduation from the recognised university

    Check out the NDA II notification on the website of UPSC.Read carefully any notification before applying for any exam or job.The date given for age limits are between 2nd July 1995 to 1st january 1998.Your age limit falls outside that bracket.That is why you are deemed as ineligible.

    Re: Why am I not eligible for NDA 2 exam in August even my age is under 19?

    Yes friend ,

    you are a 100% correct in your argument , but according to the National Defence Academy ( NDA )
    guidelines you are not correct .


    This is because the NDA Examinations eligibility criteria are not framed in accordance to the
    date of NDA Examination but in accordance to the date of commencement of the
    National Defence Academy .

    So for the NDA - II Examination of the year 2013 for which the commencement of NDA is July 2014 ,
    you become a non - eligible candidate of the the NDA Examinations .

    The age criteria for the NDA - II Examination of the year 2013 is as follows -:
    Your age must be between 16� to 19 years,i.e, You should have been born between
    2nd July, 1995 and 1st January, 1998 .

    Re: Why am I not eligible for NDA 2 exam in August even my age is under 19?

    The reason you are not eligible to apply for the NDA 2 exams is that UPSC has asked that only candidates who were born between the dates 2nd July 1995 to 1st January 1998 can apply
    Though the Minimum age to apply is 16.5 years
    Maximum age to apply is 19 years

    But the Minimum and Maximum age is calculated as per the NDA course starting date
    For the NDA 2 exams Course would start from 2nd July 2014
    So minimum age and maximum age is calculated based on this date that is 2nd July 2014

    So Now i would suggest that if you are still interested in applying to defence services than complete your Graduationa nd than apply for the CDS exams
    CDS exams are also conducted by UPSC
