For most students, summer vacation is a time to relax, hang out with friends, binge-watch shows, or go on holidays. But for serious NDA aspirants, summer is not a break — it’s a golden opportunity.
If your dream is to join the prestigious National Defence Academy (NDA), then using your summer vacation wisely can give you a solid lead over lakhs of others preparing for the same goal.
This blog is your complete guide to why NDA coaching during summer is a smart strategy and how it can lay the foundation for cracking the NDA written exam with confidence.
📘 What is the NDA Written Exam?
Before we talk about summer coaching, let’s quickly understand the NDA exam pattern:
The NDA written exam, conducted by UPSC, consists of two papers:
Mathematics – 120 Questions – 300 Marks
GAT (General Ability Test) – 150 Questions – 600 Marks
Total: 900 marks Duration: 5 hours (2.5 hrs per paper) Mode: Offline (OMR-based) Negative Marking: Yes
It’s held twice a year — usually in April and September.
Cracking the written exam is the first and most crucial step. Without clearing it, there’s no entry to the next stage.
🔥 Why Summer Vacation is the Best Time for NDA Written Coaching
1. ✅ No Academic Burden = Full Focus
During your school year, your day is packed with classes, homework, and tests. But summer vacation gives you a break from all that — and the perfect window to focus solely on NDA preparation.
This undivided attention helps you build strong conceptual clarity, especially in subjects like Maths and Science.
2. 📈 Get Ahead of the Competition
Most aspirants start preparing late or try to cover the syllabus in their Class 12 year. But if you begin during summer after Class 11, you get a huge early advantage.
You’ll already be ahead when others are just getting started.
3. 🧠 Build Conceptual Foundation
NDA Maths includes topics from both Class 11 and 12. The summer months are ideal to revise Class 10 topics and build a strong foundation in:
Algebra
Trigonometry
Coordinate Geometry
Mensuration
Probability
Calculus (Basic level)
Similarly, GAT covers:
English grammar
Vocabulary
History, Polity, Geography
Physics, Chemistry, Biology
Current Affairs
Covering these during summer helps you manage time better during regular school sessions.
4. 🕒 Utilize Your Time Effectively
Let’s break this down. In 60 days of summer vacation:
60 days × 6 hours/day = 360 hours
That’s more than enough to cover the entire Maths syllabus once
And build strong English & GK base for GAT
This is productive time you won’t get again during school/college semesters.
