Important Points to Remember to Score Good marks in NDA Physics Section

• The candidate should read the syllabus of NDA Physics to avoid any misinterpretation or confusion.
• The NCERT books of class 10th, 11th & 12th are recommendable for NDA exam. You will develop a clear understanding of almost all basic concepts by reading NCERT.
• Candidates should note down all important formulae and definitions of NDA physics that can be referred to during last-minute revisions or for quick referencing.
• Physics has the highest weightage after English in NDA GAT paper. Candidate should not spend more than 20 minutes to solve the physics section.
