Allotment works on a first-apply-first-allot basis, so if your preferred city&#8217;s capacity was already full, you may have been assigned an alternate nearby city (barring Chennai, Dispur, Kolkata, and Nagpur, which don&#8217;t have a fixed candidate ceiling). The confirmed venue only appears once your admit card is released \u2014 so this is genuinely the first moment you&#8217;ll know for certain where to report.<\/p><h3 dir=\"ltr\">Why You Should Plan Travel\/Stay This Week<\/h3><p dir=\"ltr\">If your allotted centre turns out to be outside your home city, you&#8217;re working with a very tight window \u2014 roughly a week between the admit card release and the exam itself. Trains and hotel rooms near exam centres fill up fast in the first week of September, when lakhs of NDA candidates are travelling at once. Start a backup plan now: shortlist a couple of travel options and a place to stay for the cities you might realistically be assigned to. Once the centre address is confirmed, look it up on a map the same day, note the nearest railway station or bus stand, and time a practice route if the city is unfamiliar to you \u2014 so you&#8217;re not scrambling the moment the admit card is out.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-40d545ae elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"40d545ae\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">NDA 2 2026 Exam Pattern Recap<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-51c78bc9 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"51c78bc9\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p dir=\"ltr\">The NDA 2026 written exam carries 900 marks across two papers \u2014 Mathematics and the General Ability Test (GAT) \u2014 followed by a 900-mark SSB interview, for a combined total of 1800 marks.<\/p>\n\n<h3 dir=\"ltr\">Mathematics (300 Marks) Breakdown<\/h3>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Paper I covers Class 11\u201312 level Mathematics \u2014 Algebra, Matrices and Determinants, Trigonometry, Analytical Geometry, Differential and Integral Calculus, Vector Algebra, and Statistics &amp; Probability.

For General Knowledge, prioritise high-yield areas: Physics and Chemistry fundamentals at the Class 10 level, Indian History (especially the Freedom Movement), and Geography basics.
