Top 7 Mistakes to Avoid in NDA 2 2025 | NDA Coaching Lucknow

Underestimating the NDA Syllabus and Exam Pattern
Many candidates make the grave error of taking the NDA syllabus lightly, especially when it comes to subjects like Mathematics and English. The NDA 2 2025 exam will test conceptual understanding, accuracy, and time management.

At Shield Defence Academy, we follow a structured approach where every topic from the UPSC-prescribed syllabus is meticulously covered. Aspirants often overlook:

Vector Algebra and Complex Numbers in Maths
Grammar Rules and Comprehension Strategies in English
Geography, Indian Polity, and General Science in the GAT paper
Tip: Stick to NCERT books and regular revision schedules, supported by our classroom tests.

Ignoring the Importance of Physical Fitness
One of the key areas where candidates fail is Physical and Medical Fitness. NDA not only tests your academic ability but also your stamina, discipline, and health. Ignoring fitness in the early preparation stages is a major mistake.

We at Shield Defence Academy incorporate daily physical training sessions as part of our hostel routine, ensuring that every aspirant is prepared both mentally and physically.

Key areas to focus on:

Running (2.4 km under 15 minutes)
Push-ups, Sit-ups, and Chin-ups
Flexibility, BMI, and Posture
Avoid obesity – maintain healthy weight and diet
