The Nigerian Defence Academy (NDA) wishes to inform the general public and, specifically, all applicants of the 77 Regular Course that the screening process for the 2025 admission cycle is underway. Candidates who applied and participated in the 2025 Joint Admission and Matriculation Board (JAMB) Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) and selected NDA as their first choice are required to take note of the following information:
– Candidates must have scored a minimum of 180 in the UTME for all courses, except engineering courses, which requires a minimum score of 210.
– Only candidates that meet these minimum scores will be eligible to select a centre and participate in the NDA Screening Test.
The NDA Screening Test is scheduled to take place nationwide on 24 May 2025. Successful candidates from the screening test will later be invited for the Armed Forces Selection Board at the NDA, where they will undergo comprehensive medical, physical, mental evaluations and other tests. The final list of admitted candidates will be published in national dailies or on NDA website.
NDA is also alerting the public about the surge in fraudulent activities emanating from individuals who create fake social media accounts to impersonate the Academy. These unscrupulous elements mislead unsuspecting individuals by disseminating false information and soliciting payments for the admission process.
For further inquiries regarding application for the 77 Regular Course, please contact the Academy Registry via email at academyregistrar@nda.edu.ng.
