NDA 2 2020 exam registration is started on 16 June 2020. NDA aspirants can apply for the NDA 2 2020 written exam online on the official UPSC website. Here we bring you a few important points that NDA aspirants must keep in mind.
- The NDA& NA Examination (I) 2020, which was scheduled to be held on 19.04.2020, was deferred against the backdrop of COVID-19 outbreak. Now, a common examination will be held for both NDA&NA Examination (I) and NDA& NA Examination (II) 2020 on September 6, 2020.
- Candidates of NDA& NA Examination (I) 2020 who intend to apply for NDA& NA (II) Examination 2020 should note that their photograph, signature, choice of Centre & Photo ID as per NDA & NA (II) 2020 application will be utilised for the purpose of allotment of centre and future referencing and they are advised to carry this ID while appearing for the examination. They should also note that any variation in photograph/signature/date of birth in two applications may entail cancellation of candidature for either of the two examinations or both. Such common candidates are required to indicate their unique RID of NDA&NA Examination (I) 2020 in the application form for NDA&NA Examination (II) 2020. The unique RID for NDA&NA Examination (I) 2020 was provided to each of them after submission of application for the examination earlier.
- The candidates should also note that no addition/deletion/any changes are allowed in online application form in the NDA & NA Examination in any circumstances once it is submitted.
- Candidates are required to apply online by using the website upsconline.nic.in Brief instructions for filling up the online Application Form have been given in the Appendix-II (A) Detailed instructions are available on the above mentioned website.
- Candidates of NDA& NA Examination (I) 2020 who are eligible and intend to apply for NDA& NA Examination (II) 2020 may apply. They should, however, note that no separate written examination will be held for NDA&NA Examination (I), 2020 this year. The written examination will be common for the candidates of both NDA& NA Examination (I) and (II) 2020. However, the results of these two examinations will be prepared separately.
- Common candidates of NDA& NA Examination (I) and (II) 2020 should note that their photograph, signature, choice of Centre & Photo ID as per NDA & NA Examination (II) 2020 application will be utilised for the purpose of allotment of centre and future referencing and they are advised to carry this ID while appearing for the examination. They should also note that any variation in photograph/signature in two applications may entail cancellation of candidature for either of the two examinations or both. Such common candidates are required to indicate their unique RID of NDA&NA Exam.(I) 2020 in the application form for NDA&NA Exam.(II) 2020. The unique RID for NDA&NA Exam.(I) 2020 was provided to each of them after submission of application for this examination earlier.
- Candidates of NDA/NA 1 and 2 both will NOT have any separate exam and will attempt the same exam i.e., Both NDA/NA I and II will have the same question paper, same exam centre.
- Candidates who applied for NDA/NA I will have to apply for NDA/NA II with the SAME registration ID number (RID). Both Applications must have the same details.
- Exam will be ONE. But the result will be taken for both the papers separately. For example, if I get 400 out of 900 in the exam, and if I didn’t qualify in NDA/NA I, there might be chances that I might be qualified in NDA/NA II, since the result will be declared separately, hence cut off will be varied.
New applicants there SHOULD NOT BE ANY CHANGE in these things in both applications:
- SAME PHOTO, SIGNATURE, THUMB IMPRESSION
- SAME ADDRESS AND EDUCATION DETAILS
- SAME DETAILS OF COMMUNICATION
- MOST IMPORTANTLY, SAME REGISTRATION ID.
