Understanding the Selection Process for NDA 1 and 2 in 2020
The National Defence Academy (NDA) is a prestigious institution in India that offers admission to certain classes of candidates for an officer’s course. The NDA entrance examination is conducted twice a year, for NDA 1 and NDA 2, to select eligible candidates from a pool of applicants. A common question often arises regarding the relationship between candidates selected in NDA 1 and NDA 2 in the same year: Will the candidates of NDA 1 2020 be considered for the NDA 2 2020 result? The answer is no, as the selection lists for both NDA 1 and NDA 2 are released separately. This article delves into the details of the selection process and clarifies any doubts related to overlap in the selection lists.
Why do Selection Lists for NDA 1 and NDA 2 2020 Release Separately?
Each NDA batch recruits a different group of candidates according to the requirements of the Academy. The selection process for NDA 1 and NDA 2 operates independently, with separate candidate pools and a customized examination format for each event.
Selection Criteria for NDA 1 and NDA 2 2020
The selection criteria for both NDA 1 and NDA 2 are fairly similar, focusing on merit based on the entrance examination and interview. However, the examination dates are different, leading to separate selection lists. Here’s a detailed breakdown of the selection process for each event:
NDA 1 2020
The first batch of NDA 2020 (NDA 1) was conducted in March 2020. The examination comprised a written test followed by an interview. The meritorious candidates were selected based on their performance in these tests, and the selection list was published accordingly. No candidates from NDA 1 were considered for the NDA 2 2020 result or vice versa.
NDA 2 2020
NDA 2 2020 was conducted in July 2020, with a similar format comprising a written test and an interview. The selection process was identical, and the selection list for NDA 2 was published separately from NDA 1. Candidates selected in NDA 2 were not eligible for the selection list of NDA 1 2020, and vice versa.
What to Expect from Future NDA Selections?
For students aspiring to join the National Defence Academy in the future, it is crucial to understand the separate selection processes for NDA 1 and NDA 2. Each examination is designed to select the best candidates from the applicants who are most suitable for the officer’s course at NDA. Hence, the selection lists are released independently, ensuring that candidates are evaluated based on their current performance and potential for military training.
In Conclusion
It is important to note that the selection process for NDA 1 and NDA 2 operates independently, and candidates from one examination are not considered for the other. Separate selection lists are published for both NDA 1 and NDA 2 to maintain the integrity of the process and ensure that candidates are chosen based on their current qualifications and potential.
Jai Hind, and best of luck to all aspiring candidates!
