National Defence Academy (NDA) to hike seats from 2009
Pune: IN a bid to meet the shortfall of officers in the Armed Forces, the National Defence Academy (NDA) has decided to increase its intake by 140 cadets. The academy currently admits 1, 800 cadets each year.
While the increased intake which translates to an increase of roughly 25 cadets per batch – is likely to start from 2009, the academy will start expanding infrastructure from next year. The academy will add one more squadron to the existing 15 to accommodate the extra cadets. “Work will start in the coming year and we will get a new building within two – three years. The plan is to increase the strength from the current 1, 800 cadets to 1, 940 cadets,” NDA commandant Lt. Gen A.K. Chopra said.
