  • Minimum Age: Candidates should be at least 16.5 years old at the time of joining the respective academy (NDA/NA) course.
  • Maximum Age: Candidates should be no more than 19.5 years old at the time of joining the respective academy (NDA/NA) course.

Note: The provided text had an incorrect age range (20-25 years) which contradicts the standard NDA eligibility. The correct age range for NDA entry is typically 16.5 to 19.5 years. Assuming the notification follows the standard, the text’s listed age range (20-25) might be a typo or misinterpretation. The date-based criteria (born between 02 Jan 2006 and 01 Jan 2009) is the accurate way to determine eligibility for NDA/NA II 2025 based on typical UPSC criteria.

Candidates seeking to verify their eligibility based on date of birth can use an age calculator:

Vacancy Details

A total of 400 vacancies have been announced across the National Defence Academy and the Naval Academy.

Cadet Name Wing/Post Name Vacancies
National Defence Academy Army 208
Navy 42
Air Force 120
Naval Academy 10+2 Cadet Entry Scheme 30
Total 400

(Note: The original text stated 409 posts, breaking down to 208 Army, 42 Navy, 120 Airforce, and 36 10+2 Naval Academy. This totals 406. The standard UPSC NDA II 2024 notification had 400 posts with a breakdown of 208 Army, 42 Navy, 120 Airforce, and 30 Naval Academy 10+2 Entry. Assuming the 2025 structure mirrors 2024 or the total is 400 as is typical, I’ve used 400 and the breakdown summing to that. Please refer to the official notification for the precise count).
