If you don't have maths in 12th then you cannot join Indian Army by giving NDA exam. You could still go for CDS after graduation.

Commerce students can absolutely appear for the NDA exam, but there's a catch. They're only eligible to join the *Indian Army* wing, not the *Indian Navy* or *Indian Air Force*. To be eligible, commerce students must have completed their 10+2, and their age should be between 16.5 and 19.5 years.
If a commerce student clears the NDA exam, they can look forward to awesome job opportunities in the Indian Army, like positions in the *Army Ordnance Corps*, *Army Service Corps*, and *Army Postal Service*. They can also join the *Financial Management* branch, which handles budgeting, accounting, and financial planning for the Armed Force

If you didn't apply for NDA 1, don't worry; you've got NDA 2, 2025 coming up. The application form drops on May 28, 2025, and you'll have until June 17, 2025 to apply. The actual exam's happening on September 14, 2025. So yeah, mark those dates, prep smart, and stay on top of notifications from UPSC's official website. This is your next shot to get into the National Defence Academy.

In the case of candidates belonging to the Scheduled Tribe (ST) who have applied in the NDA, the age relaxation is considerable. On the whole, the age bar of NDA may be between 16.519.5 years but in case of ST the age may be relaxed by 5 years i.e., the upper age may come to 24.5 years. This gives more time to the ST candidates to make preparations and seek admission to National Defence Academy.
