National Defence Academy (NDA) Exam is conducted twice every year by the Union Public Service Commission (UPSC) for the recruitment of candidates into the Indian Army, Navy and Airforce & the Indian Naval Academy Course (NA). The NDA Written Exam includes two Papers: Mathematics and General Ability Test (GAT). The time duration for each paper is of 2 and a half hours. Mathematics is a very important section of NDA. Each question in the NDA Maths section consists of 2.5 marks and a penalty of 0.83 for every incorrect answer. Thus, a total of 300 marks is devoted for a total of 120 questions in NDA Mathematics section.
NDA Maths Syllabus consists of:
- Algebra
- Trigonometry
- Differential Calculus
- Statistics and Probability
- Matrices and Determinants
- Integral calculus
- Analytical geometry of 2D and 3D
- Vector algebra
In order to score the highest in the Maths section in NDA, it is therefore, important to know the usual question & marking trend of the topics, in detail.
