A quick self-test
Take one full previous-year NDA paper under exam conditions (2½ hours for Maths, 2½ hours for GAT) and compare your score with the last cut-offs on upsc.gov.in:
- Close to or above the cut-off: a crash course is enough to sharpen speed and accuracy.
- Some way below: a 6-month course gives time to fix weak chapters.
- Far below, or unable to finish the paper: the 1-year course is the safer choice.
