NDA Foundation Course

The purpose of NDA foundation course is to give an early edge to a student in comparison to those who start their preparation after class 12th. Most of the students start their preparation for NDA after clearing their 12th exams. There is very thin margin of age limit to appear for NDA exams. This gives him only 1-2 attempt for their dream job. So, its better to create a solid foundation, if anyone is willing to join NDA in their appearing attempt or desiring to avail their attempt judiciously. So, joining NDA course after class 10th always gives an advantage and edge to the NDA preparation.
