2023 NDA Syllabus The Joint Services academy of the Indian Armed Forces is called the National Defence Academy (NDA). The National Defense Academy (NDA) Exam is held annually by the Union Public Service Commission (UPSC). A nationwide exam called the NDA is given twice a year. One of the top defense positions in India for men looking to join the military as an officer is this one. The written test and personality test will be used to determine which eligible guys and ladies will be accepted into the NDA.
