NDA transforms cadets to gentlemen, and I would say NDA is the best place to learn discipline.

Placements: 100% internships are provided. Students get placed in army, airforce, and navy. Boys who prefer Army are sent to Indian Military Academy (IMA), airforce in Airforce Academy, navy in Naval Academy etc. The course after NDA is of 1 year in their respective academics. After NDA, cadets are offered a pay scale during their training in the respective academics.

Infrastructure: NDA stands top in terms of facilities. There is no compromise with facilities. NDA has the world's largest canteen. Labs, classrooms and library are wonderfully maintained. In NDA, cadets have to deal with many sports activities. Therefore, medical facilities are well-maintained.

Faculty: The teachers are all well-qualified and knowledgeable. I found the best teachers in NDA. The cadets opting for airforce and navy are provided with B.Tech courses. They are made physically and mentally fit. If cadets do hard work, semester exams are not a big deal.

Other: My preference was airforce.

Can I take admission in NDA Pune after 10th?

Answered a year ago

You cannot join NDA (at Khadakwasla, Pune) immediately after 10th. UPSC clearly requires you to have passed or be appearing in 12th grade (ages 16.5–19.5) for eligibility — 10th completion is not enough.

Bottom line: You must first complete Class 12 (preferably with PCM if aiming for Air Force/Naval
