Moreover, new aspirants are not aware of what exactly to read from notification. So, I have made a compilation of all important things related to NDA 1 2022 exam which every NDA aspirant must know.

• NDA Maths Paper (Paper 1)
• NDA GAT Paper (Paper 2)

It becomes too hectic to give 2 papers on the same day with just 2 hours of gap between them. These things must be considered while studying.

Practice of previous year question papers is must to maintain speed and accuracy in actual NDA exam. 

NDA Form filling process takes place in 2 stages: Part 1 Registration and Part 2 Registration.

After completing the Part 1 Registration, you get a confirmation message on your mobile (along with Registration ID) , which is used to fill NDA Part 2 Registration form.

NDA written exam has One Third Negative Marking for Both the papers (Maths and GAT).

I have provided detailed strategies for NDA Maths and NDA GAT paper which can yield you 415+ marks (minimum) in written exam. It takes around 5-6 months to complete A to Z sources as told.

I have already provided exact tips and tricks alog with important chapters to study for NDA exam. But still I will tell you 6 tips which you must remember to crack NDA exam in first attempt:

1. Be mentally prepared to study best sources for different subjects (don’t expect 1 single book for NDA exam. Those days are gone! )
2. Study for Boards and NDA exam in intergrated manner (Don’t isolate NDA preparation from boards or any other engineering entrance, as major overlap of syllabus can be seen)
3. Self Preparation is the key to success (You just need guidance which I have provided for free on this platform)
4. Give your 1st attempt very seriously (when you are 12th appear)- Many aspirants give first attempt as a trial.
