r/NDATards

I'm 18yo, would be joining IISER this year probably. I am very passionate to go into the armed forces (army specifically) although as we know that getting selected through NDA or CDS is very challenging and now everyone makes it, nor is there any straight path to do so. Right now for college I have 2 options basically, engineering colleges (RVCE, MSRIT, etc) and IISERS, im making decision between these two on the basis of interest purely, as what would I like to do in my civilian life if I don't get selected, that'd definitely be into research field. Although if I select IISERS, I'd practically be killing my army route.

I'm 18 now when I'll be joining college, I have 2 more NDA attempts with me that I'd give in 1st year of my college. But here's where the problem starts, I can only apply for CDS in the final year of degree or after graduation. The BSMS degree is too long, by the time i'd be in my 4th year, I'd already be 22, and most people are involved in master's thesis project in their 4th year, sometimes people even go abroad for that. I'd graduate at 23 and the maximum age for IMA application is 24, so I'd have 1 or 2 attempts at most that too considering I go for PhD elsewhere as most people tend to do.

It's quite a dilemma, I have to chose between 2 things, if I leave IISERS for army route and I don't get selected, that be very disheartening as I would've left a college and career path for nothing and vice versa. I don't know if there's any way around it, it's not an easy decision to take, especially at my age. I can't take a BSc degree at the end of 3rd year without having to leave college as far as I have searched.

If someone can help me with this decision or been in my shoes, please I would like for your advice.

Hello. I am a woman of 18 years of age. I am a law student. And in my future, I hope to be a JAG officer. I have heard from a colleague that joining NCC would make your chances of joining JAG slightly better and that it would also give you a glimpse into how the army works.

I have read the NCC book. In accordance with it, our physical fitness must be like that as recommended by the ministry of defence. I have checked some files like

"the national guidelines for admission to the National defence academy"

and I feel like that's way too many documents to join the NCC. Yea, it would make sense if it were the army but NCC is a much more elementary stage.

I also checked out the height and weight part 😭. I am 5'5 and I am 72 kgs. I AM NOT OBESE. I have been working on my muscles since I was a younger teen and have quite some muscle mass. While I can still reduce maybe 5 kgs??? The maximum weight is 63 kgs. It's gonna be rough reducing 10 kgs within a few years. Cause if someone irl were to see me they wouldn't guess I'm more than 60 (cause I look bulky) - trust me I've tried asking around they are kinda in disbelief when I say so. I also have morbidly visible abs too. So, my question is, will they make any considerations regarding weight?

Pls let me know. Also if you guys would suggest any other platform/ area to post, lmk too. Cheeslings ✌🏾

A Madman's Romance

Being five having no clue of the world yet I was mesmerised when I saw the weapon in my old man's arms.

He held it close to keep me away, yet now his daughter only dreams of one way.

The Olive Greens has this magic which turns boys into men and men into poets.

I wonder what It shall turn me into...

Yet for now it has turned me into a madman romanticizing its horrors and writing poems as if a lover confessing his love for the croods.

I even get jealous when I find tons of other lovers of hers as mad as me over her,

It has never been just a profession for me - Never about the pay Never about the benefits

I hope this romance does not bring me despair as I've loved you so much Very soon I'll be there...

For promotions, one really needs a connection or an officer background, like a father or another family member.........I know there is partiality and bias to some extent, but is it really that extreme, or is it just like it's everywhere else .......I have studied in APS my whole life, and I am aware that biased towards officer kids, but to some extent, but not much. They are given special treatments at times .................................so I request cadets and all aspirants pls share your thoughts and opinions if it's there or not? What about promotions? Are they also based on the Academy and connections? Or on capabilities and service record ?......

Actually guys my jossa counseling is going on, so I have to report online there, that why I'm asking.
