The NDA has specific eligibility criteria, which include physical standards such as height, weight, and chest measurements. These standards are established to ensure that candidates meet the physical requirements necessary to perform the duties and responsibilities of a military officer effectively. The specific height requirements for NDA may vary depending on the branch of service (Army, Navy, or Air Force) and the gender of the candidate. Generally, the minimum acceptable height for male candidates is around 157-162 cm, and for female candidates, it is around 152 cm. However, these height requirements can change over time, so it's important to refer to the official NDA recruitment notifications or contact the relevant authorities for the most accurate and up-to-date information. It's worth noting that meeting the height requirement is just one aspect of the overall selection process for NDA. Candidates are also assessed on various other factors, including written exams, interviews, physical fitness, medical examinations, and more. So, while height can be a consideration, it is not the sole determining factor for selection or rejection in the NDA.
