That’s a great thought 👍 — preparing for NDA (National Defence Academy) right from Class 11 will give you a strong edge. Since the exam tests Mathematics, General Ability, and Officer-like qualities, starting early helps you balance school studies + NDA prep without stress. Here’s a structured plan for you:
📍 Step-by-Step NDA Preparation from Class 11
1. Understand the NDA Exam Pattern
Written Exam:
Mathematics → 300 marks (11th & 12th NCERT base)
General Ability Test (GAT) → 600 marks (English + General Knowledge + Current Affairs + Science)
SSB Interview → 900 marks (personality, leadership, communication, physical & psychological tests).
2. Strengthen Academics (11th & 12th syllabus)
Focus on NCERTs (Class 11 & 12):
Maths: Algebra, Trigonometry, Calculus, Vectors, Probability.
Physics, Chemistry, Biology: Only NCERT basics are enough for NDA-level questions.
History, Polity, Geography, Economics: NCERT Class 6–12 basics.
English: Improve grammar, comprehension, vocabulary, essay writing.
3. Build Daily Study Routine
2–3 hrs/day for NDA preparation along with school.
Weekly plan:
📘 2 days – Maths
📗 2 days – GK/Science
📙 2 days – English
📕 1 day – Current Affairs + Revision
4. Physical Fitness
NDA cadets need strength + stamina.
Start from Class 11:
Running: 2–5 km daily
Push-ups, pull-ups, sit-ups, squats
Swimming, yoga, and sports (football, volleyball, athletics) are highly helpful.
Maintain good diet & discipline.
5. Work on Personality & Communication
Improve English speaking skills (read newspapers, speak daily).
Practice stage speech/debates.
Develop leadership qualities (take part in NCC, Scouts, school leadership roles).
6. Stay Updated with Current Affairs
Read The Hindu / Indian Express or monthly magazines (Pratiyogita Darpan, Competition Success Review).
Follow Defence news, Indian Armed Forces updates, Government schemes.
7. Practice Mock Tests & Previous Papers
Solve last 10 years NDA question papers.
Give mock tests every month to check progress.
✅ Tip: If you’re serious, you can also join a good coaching like Manasa Defence Academy or similar — they’ll guide you in written + physical + SSB preparation.
🔥 If you start from Class 11, by the time you reach Class 12 you’ll be fully prepared for NDA Exam & SSB.
