• The selected candidates will appear before a Services Selection Board for Intelligence

and Personality Test.

• Candidates for the Army/Navy wings of the NDA and Executive branch of Naval

Academy will be assessed on officers potentiality • Candidates for the Air Force wing, along with officer potentiality assessment, will also

undergo a Pilot Aptitude Test.

Two Stage Selection Procedures

• Two stage selection procedures will be based on Psychological Aptitude Test and

Intelligence Test.

• All the candidates will be put to stage one test on first day of reporting at Selection

Centres/Air Force Selection Boards.

• Only those candidates who qualify at stage one will be admitted to the second stage.

• Those candidates who qualify stage II will be required to submit the original

Certificates along with one photocopy each of :

o Original Matriculation pass certificate or equivalent in support of date of birth

o Original 10+2 pass certificate or equivalent in support of educational

qualification

• For final qualification, candidates for the Army/Navy and Naval Academy should

secure the minimum qualifying marks separately in (i) Written examination and (ii)

Officer potentiality test, and candidates for the Air Force should secure the minimum

qualifying marks separately in (i) Written examination (ii) Officer potentiality test, and

(iii) Pilot Aptitude Test as fixed by the Commission in their discretion.

• Qualified candidates will then be placed in the final order of merit on the basis of total marks secured by them in the Written examination, and the Services Selection Board

Tests in three separate lists:

o Army and the Navy, o Air Force

o Executive course at the Naval Academy.

• The names of candidates who qualify for all the Services of NDA and the Naval

Academy will appear in all the three Merit Lists.

• The final selection for admission will be made in order of merit depending on the

number of vacancies in each wing.

• The selection will be subject to medical fitness and suitability in all other respects.

NOTE: A candidate who fails in the Pilot Aptitude Test cannot apply for admission to the

National Defence Academy Examination, the Air Force wing or General Duties (Pilot) Branch
