The NDA Examination is conducted twice a year by the Union Public Service Commission to
recruit candidates in Army, Navy, and Air Force. NDA Written exam consists of two papers:
Mathematics and GAT. Mathematics Section in NDA exam includes 120 questions and a total
of 300 marks with 2.5 marks being awarded for each correct answer and 0.83 marks deducted
for each incorrect one. The paper duration is of 2 and half hours.
NDA Mathematics Syllabus consists of the following main topics:
• Algebra
• Differential Calculus
• Trigonometry
• Statistics and Probability
• Integral calculus
• Analytical geometry of 2D and 3D

Tips to Remember:
• Please keep a printout of this Study Plan & try to follow the schedule as strictly as
possible.

• Always practice Math problems. By practice we mean take a pen and paper and solve
Math problems.

• Theorems and formulae are the most important features in Mathematics. To memorize
them, write them three to four times. Paste them in your room or above your study table,
anywhere you will be able to see them daily.

• Solve as many Previous years papers as possible you can and that too in a time-bound
fashion. This will help you to manage your time during the exams.

• Take NDA Mathematics Mock Tests without fail.

• Don’t forget to chill out and relax!
