Must watch NDA 2 2021 Exam Most Expected Question [Fully Solved] by SSBCrackExams:
National Defence Academy (NDA) Exam is conducted twice every year by the Union Public Service Commission (UPSC) for the recruitment of candidates into the Indian Army, Navy, and Airforce & the Indian Naval Academy Course (INAC).
The supreme court asked centre to make sure girls can write the upcoming NDA exam which is scheduled for 11 November 2021. The NDA 2 2021 exam will be conducted in November but the registration for this entry has been closed. The Supreme court has asked the government to make arrangements for the female NDA aspirants in the upcoming NDA exam, 2023 will be too late for them.
The Supreme Court on Wednesday rejected the Centre’s plea to defer the first National Defence Academy (NDA) exam for women candidates and directed that women should be allowed to sit for the upcoming exam on November 14.
A bench headed by Justice Sanjay Kishan Kaul said: “This won’t send the right signal to women after having given them the aspiration. Let’s begin from this year.” “We cannot delay things by a year. We gave hope to the girls. We cannot deny them that hope now,” said the bench
The top court pushed the Armed Forces to allow women to write the NDA exam in November this year, and not wait till May 2022. The bench noted that postponing the process of allowing women to write the NDA exam to May will delay their induction to 2023.
The Centre contended that certain infrastructural and curriculum changes are required to allow the induction of women, and sought time till May 2022 to allow the women to take the exam. The bench said the Armed Forces are trained to act in emergencies and it is the best response team.
The bench reiterated that the admission of women cannot be postponed, while taking note of the submissions made by senior advocate Chinmoy Pradip Sharma, representing the petitioner Kush Kalra, that two exams are held by the NDA during a year for the admissions to the next year.
The Centre has told the Supreme Court that a study group has been constituted by the defence services to expeditiously formulate a comprehensive curriculum for women cadets.
Ace fighter pilot Air Marshal Vivek Ram Chaudhari has been appointed as the next chief of the Indian Air Force (IAF) succeeding Air Chief Marshal RKS Bhadauria who retires from service on September 30. Chaudhari is presently the Vice Chief of Air Staff and has been an ace MiG-29 pilot expert in major MiG-29 fighter aircraft.
He was the chief of the Western Air Command from August 1, 2020. He was commissioned into Fighter Stream of the IAF on December 29, 1982, as a fighter pilot and has served nearly 39 years. He has flown a wide variety of fighter and trainer aircraft with a flying experience of more than 3800 hours.
Air Marshal Vivek Ram Chaudhari took over as the Vice Chief of the Air Staff, in New Delhi on July 01, 2021.
Informing about the Air Marshal Vivek Ram Chaudhari’s appointment, Principal Spokesperson, Ministry of Defence, Government of India, A Bharat Bhushan Babu on his official Twitter handle today said, “Government has decided to appoint Air Marshal V R Chaudhari, PVSM, AVSM, VM presently Vice Chief of Air Staff as the next Chief of Air Staff. Current Chief of Air Staff Air Chief Marshal RKS Bhadauria, PVSM, AVSM, VM, ADC retires from Service on 30th Sep 2021.”
So finally the wait is over, today the government has provided a clear picture of girls’ eligibility for the NDA exam to join the National Defence Academy. According to the government, girls can write the NDA 1 2022 examination and all NDA exams thereafter. NDA 1 2022 examination will be conducted on 10 April 2022, both male and female aspirants can apply for NDA 1 2022 Exam from 22 December 2021 and the last date for receipt of applications will be 11 January 2022.
