UPSC NDA Examination 2024 is an exciting yet rigorous process. Aspiring candidates must meticulously review and ensure they meet all eligibility conditions before applying. Admission to all stages of the examination is provisional and subject to the satisfaction of prescribed eligibility conditions. The mere issuance of the Admission Certificate does not guarantee final clearance by the Commission. The actual verification of eligibility conditions is conducted after a candidate qualifies for the interview/Personality Test.
How to Apply Online
Candidates are required to submit their applications online through the official website upsconline.nic.in. The crucial first step is registering on the One Time Registration (OTR) platform available on the Commission’s website. This registration, a one-time affair, must be completed before proceeding to fill out the online application. If a candidate is already registered, they can directly move on to the application process.

Correction window
Candidates have the flexibility to modify their OTR profile only once in their lifetime. This modification window remains open until seven days after the closure of the application window for the first final application. Additionally, the Commission allows corrections in the application form for seven days after its closure. However, any changes to the OTR profile during this period must be made through the OTR platform, not the application form modification window.
Essential Documents and Last Date for Submission
Candidates should possess a valid photo ID (Aadhar Card, Voter Card, PAN Card, Passport, etc.) and upload it with the online application form. The last date for submission of applications is 09.01.2024, until 6:00 PM. An e-Admit Card will be issued seven days before the examination and can be downloaded from the UPSC website. No physical Admit Cards will be sent by post.
Negative Marking for Wrong Answers
Candidates must tread carefully as there is a penalty (Negative Marking) for incorrect answers in the Objective Type Question Papers. This adds a layer of strategy to the examination, emphasizing accuracy over guesswork.
Vacancies and Educational Qualifications
The approximate number of vacancies for the National Defence Academy is 400, spread across various wings. Educational qualifications vary, with specific requirements for the Army, Air Force, and Naval Wings.
Eligibility Criteria
Candidates must meet specific eligibility criteria, including being unmarried male/female, within a defined age range (born between 02nd July, 2005, and 1st July, 2008), and holding Indian citizenship or a specified migration status. A detailed breakdown of eligibility conditions ensures a fair and transparent selection process.
In conclusion, the journey towards success in the UPSC NDA Examination 2024 demands meticulous planning, adherence to guidelines, and a commitment to excellence. Aspiring candidates should leverage the comprehensive information provided here to navigate the complexities of the application process and embark on a path that could lead to a fulfilling career in the defense forces.
