Navy Tech Entry — 10+2 B.Tech Cadet Entry Scheme Coaching in Dehradun
Convert your JEE (Main) rank into an Indian Navy commission. No written exam of its own — your SSB interview decides everything. NDDA prepares Navy Tech aspirants under ex-defence officers and former SSB assessors, in Dehradun.
Navy Tech Entry, officially the 10+2 (B.Tech) Cadet Entry Scheme, is a Permanent Commission entry into the Executive and Technical branches of the Indian Navy for Class 12 (PCM) students. Selected candidates complete a four-year B.Tech course at the prestigious Indian Naval Academy (INA), Ezhimala. Unlike most defence exams, there is no separate written test — shortlisting for the SSB interview is done directly on the basis of your JEE (Main) All India Common Rank List (CRL).
At Noval Doon Defence Academy (NDDA), Dehradun, we help Navy Tech Entry aspirants convert their JEE rank into a Naval commission through focused SSB interview preparation, personality development, and application guidance — led by retired defence officers and ex-SSB assessors.
