NDA & NA Syllabus

NDA Syllabus 2020 for Written Entrance Test

NDA Syllabus 2020 is given below. UPSC conducts National Defense Academy/Naval Academy Entrance Exam twice in a year. There are two papers - Mathematics and General Ability Test. Paper 1 in NDA covers Mathematics. NDA Exam syllabus is the same for the last few years. The difficulty level is that the questions will be asked from 10+2 level only. Paper 2 in NDA i.e. the General Ability Test which is divided in two parts- English and General Knowledge. The GAT is to evaluate the candidate’s basic awareness and English proficiency.

Intelligence and Personality Test
The SSB procedure consists of two stage Selection process - stage I and stage II. Only those candidates who clear the stage I are permitted to appear for stage II. The details are:
(a) Stage I comprises of Officer Intelligence Rating (OIR) tests are Picture Perception * Description Test (PP&DT). The candidates will be shortlisted based on combination of performance in OIR Test and PP&DT.
(b) Stage II Comprises of Interview, Group Testing Officer Tasks, Psychology Tests and the Conference. These tests are conducted over 4 days. The details of these tests are given on the website joinindianarmy.nic.in. The personality of a candidate is assessed by three different assessors viz. The Interviewing Officer (IO), Group Testing Officer (GTO) and the Psychologist. There are no separate weightage for each test. The makes are allotted by assessors only after taking into consideration the performance of the candidate holistically in all the test. In addition, marks for Conference are also allotted based on the initial performance of the Candidate in the three techniques and decision of the Board. All these have equal weightage. The various tests of IO, GTO and Psych are designed to bring out the presence/absence of Officer Like Qualities and their trainability in a candidate. Accordingly, candidates are Recommended or Not Recommended at the SSB.
