Preparing for the NDA exam can feel overwhelming, but with the right plan and consistency, any student can crack it. Here’s a quick, beginner-friendly guide to help you start strong.
1. Understand the NDA Pattern
NDA has two papers:
- Mathematics – 300 marks
- GAT (General Ability Test) – 600 marks
Before studying, know what topics matter most. This saves a lot of time and builds clarity.
2. Strengthen Your Basics
The NDA exam tests your fundamentals.
Focus on:
- Class 10th–12th Maths basics
- English grammar
- General Science, GK, and Current Affairs
Good basics = faster problem solving.
3. Practice Mock Tests Early
Don’t wait until the last month.
Start practicing mock tests from day one. It helps you improve:
- Speed
- Accuracy
- Time management
Mock tests also show your weak areas so you can fix them quickly.
4. Stay Consistent
Even 2–3 hours of daily study is enough if done regularly.
Make a simple timetable and follow it.
5. Prepare for SSB from the Start
NDA isn’t just a written exam — you also need to clear the SSB Interview.
Work on communication, confidence, and logical thinking early.
Final Tip
Choose the right coaching or mentor who gives you structured study material, clear guidance, and real exam strategies.
