Tips to Prepare NDA Geography Questions

The basic requirement for NDA Geography questions is knowing what to study as the syllabus is pretty extensive and trying to avoid unnecessary burdens by studying from many different sources. 

• The NDA Geography questions asked in the Geography section of the NDA Exam are mostly based on the syllabus from NCERT Class 6th to 12th. So, get your hands on your NCERT Books for NDA. After completing the NCERTs, you can use other books like Lucent’s General Knowledge for the geography of the exam.
• The most common mistake committed by aspirants is they read the unnecessary syllabus. The exam usually tests the overall knowledge of a candidate and does not go in-depth about a particular topic. Stick to simple and straightforward facts and avoid wasting on memorizing everything.
• To master map-related questions go for a good atlas. While reading about state boundaries, land masses, oceans, mountains, etc. have an atlas beside you and keep locating the place that you are reading about in NCERTs or classes.
