Getting started…

NDA Entrance Exam Date 2024

All applicants for NDA 76RC shortlisted for the NDA screening test should note that the exam will take place on Saturday, 13^th April 2024.

NDA screening test/exam centre selection would begin from 20^th March 2024 to 27^th March 2024.

The screening test will be conducted as phase one of the Post-UTME screening.

Only candidates with the JAMB registration number will be eligible to write the exams.

Candidates who score a minimum of 180 (for Faculties of Arts and Social Sciences, Science and Military Science and Interdisciplinary Studies) and 210 (for Faculty of Engineering) in the JAMB examination shall be offered admission into NDA by the AFSB.

Report to your exam centre by 7.00AM on the day for the examination.

Come along with your acknowledgment form, screening test admission card, JAMB registration slip and two (2) postcard size (3.5 x 5 inches) photographs for the screening.

The photographs should show only from the chest upwards and should contain your name, state of origin, screening centre, JAMB reg. number, course of study and signature at the back.

Only successful candidates at the NDA screening test will subsequently be invited to the Armed Forces Selection Board (phase 2 of the screening test) following which the list of admitted candidates will be published.

All applicants who were not shortlisted for the NDA screening test or who could not select a centre within the allocated time, cannot attend the screening test scheduled for 13^th April 2024.

Downloading a screening test card without a specified centre, even if an exam number is indicated does not entitle you to attend the exam.

How to Print NDA Exam Card

The Nigerian Defence Academy (NDA) authorities have announced that prospective candidates can select their exam centres and print their screening/exam cards.

Applicants must satisfy these JAMB conditions to proceed to the screening test stage:

• Got a JAMB score of 180 and above.
• Chose Nigerian Defence Academy as their ‘First Choice of Institution’ when registering for JAMB.

If you satisfy the above requirements but still cannot ‘Choose a Centre’; this means you must have entered your JAMB Registration number incorrectly when completing your application.

Check your ‘Acknowledgement Form’ to check the JAMB registration number you provided.

To resolve this issue, follow these steps:

• Log into your application account.
• Revert submission.
• Update your JAMB registration number.
• Submit your form again.
• Log out, then login.

You should then be able to choose a centre and download your screening card.
