Great institutions bring in great benefits! NDA is one such place to gain bountiful rewards.
National Defence Academy (NDA) is not only the priority of Defence aspirants but is also a package of immense benefits. It is the first tri- service academy in the world to render training to cadets of Indian Air Force, Indian Army and Indian Navy. The campus of NDA is widespread in the vicinity of Khadakwasla, Pune.
NDA offers a three year residential undergraduate course for which the degree is awarded at Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU) along with high quality training in respect to military background, that is, behavioral, personality, physical and mental skill development sandwiched with perfect disciplinary attitude.
