SMART STUDY TIPS TO CRACK NDA

Manasa Defence Academy students can crack the NDA exam using SMART study tips that emphasize strategic planning, consistent practice, and balanced preparation across Mathematics and General Ability Test (GAT). These tips draw from proven strategies recommended by toppers and academies like Manasa, focusing on efficiency to maximize scores in the competitive written exam and beyond.

Core Preparation Steps

Understand the NDA exam pattern first: 900 marks total with Mathematics (300 marks, 120 questions) and GAT (600 marks covering English, Physics, Chemistry, GK).[ from memory] Create a realistic timetable studying 6 days a week, allocating slots for Maths (2-3 hours daily), GAT subjects, and weekly revisions—prioritize weak areas like Algebra or Current Affairs. Use NCERT Class 11-12 books as the foundation for concepts in all subjects.

Leverage Manasa Defence Academy-endorsed books for targeted practice.

  • Mathematics: R.S. Aggarwal's "Mathematics for NDA & NA", Arihant Pathfinder, Mission NDA for formulas and shortcuts.

  • English/GAT: S.P. Bakshi's Objective General English, Lucent GK, Manorama Yearbook for current affairs.

  • Practice: Oswaal or Disha PYQ books (2014-2023) for exam patterns.

Practice and Revision Techniques

Solve previous year papers and take 10-15 full-length mock tests to build speed—aim for 170+ in Maths by practicing 30-40 questions daily under timed conditions. Revise weekly using flashcards for formulas, GK facts, and vocabulary; analyze mistakes in an error log after every test. Maintain physical fitness with running and drills, as it supports mental focus for SSB stages.

Exam Day Strategies

In the exam, tackle easy questions first to secure marks, avoiding guesswork due to negative marking (1/3rd penalty).[ from memory] Allocate 1 minute per Maths question and prioritize English/GK for quick scores. Stay confident—Manasa students benefit from peer discussions and trainer shortcuts for real success.
