What Can One Do At The Nigerian Defence Academy Examination Centres

NDA examination centres serve as official venues where candidates take the entrance exam for admission into the Nigerian Defence Academy. These centres are carefully selected to ensure a smooth and organized examination process. Here is what happens at these centres:-

• Identity Verification: Candidates must go through security checks to confirm their identity. Biometric data capture (fingerprints and facial recognition) may be conducted to prevent impersonation.
• Entrance Examination: The main activity at the centre is writing the NDA entrance exam, which is Computer-Based (CBT). Candidates are assigned computer stations where they answer questions within a given time.
• In some cases, additional screenings or document verification may be done before candidates exit.
