r/NDATards

Just felt like sharing it, so doing the same. I cleared NDA 2 2025 written, but got rejected in the screening process itself. That was probably one of the worst days of my life as i felt my dream getting shattered. I have always wanted to serve in the military, but all i could do was to say "Hota hai yaar chalta hai" and move on.
Gave JEE mains, which went excellent (99.55%ile), yet i didnt feel satisfied, as no IIT/NIT can replace the NDA dream. I feel confident for the written, yet halka sa dar hai for SSB. Anyways, its my task to keep improving and trying, whatever happens, will be for good.
I hope everyone reading this achieves whatever they dream. Good luck everybody! Jai Hind!

hello and Jai Hind everyone, as we all know exam is upon us but if you got couple of minutes you can read it.

let me just tell you about myself I am a dropper, I enrolled myself in a JEE institute in 2023 I failed jee miserably, got compartment in boards and I wasted all my precious time doing anything except studying. mein hostel mein rehta tha.

I come from a lower middle class background, my father didn't work most of his life but somehow managed all the expenses. he is a very toxic man, he drinks almost daily and just scold me everyday and abuses me. when I once confronted him he kicked me out of the house.

I passed compartment exam with decent score but when failures hit me, I learnt a lot of things that is when I found my passion or anything you say towards the forces I am really fascinated by the idea of joining forces.

after failing, I started working on myself I started running miles, reading books also started studying. I got enrolled in shaurya 1.0

I used to study on regular basis but somehow It was too tough for me to grasp things as I had zero knowledge in maths and other subjects (I was a pcm student though) but somehow managed it.

cut to now, exam nazdeek hai and I am trying very hard to give my best because my father won't let me live if I failed and I don't want to go through all of it again.

but bhai mein na ab thak gaya hun, roz roz papa se gaaliya sunke, and I try to ignore all of this but every fucking day he is just same as yesterday, it's just too much.

from past 2 days I'm feeling like I should not live anymore, I know that I won't commit suicide but thoughts are crossing my mind a lot nowadays.

I feel like after studying for 6 months I'm gonna fail and there won't be any other choice for me. I want to leave my toxic house but I just can't.

trust me I not a quitter, mein pichhle 6 mahine se daily khudko push kar raha hun but ab mera hogya yrr, mere papa nahi sudhrenge and I don't know what else should I say . I don't want to quit but I'm not feeling like I should do anything now.

anyways guys, I'm just messed up rn. thank you for reading this, I hope each one of you ace the exam! I am posting it here because I don't want that anyone who knows me, reads this.

last year there was a change in the way merits were alloted, only 500 girls were qualified increasing the cutoff a lot, what might be the cut off this time?

How do I know, i actually want to be fighter pilot?

I m 16.5 year old mild myopic person currently going to class11, well I like to be fighter pilot but my que is how to know that I really want this cuz I feel commercial pilot or any other civil aviation is boring to me.I liked the thrill, I don't have problem with training harsh or what, cuz i like Indian army

lifestyle, don't know if would survive that, I like team spirit but the individuality in fighter jet too. I like to see dog fights, i like the diff diff buttons on front of machine (fighter jet) so cool. I like adventures and thrilling things with team.i would like to serve my country but love for fighter pilot is the above things.if i get chance i would like to be an Indian fighter pilot, apna sa lagta hai India yarr.pehle navy me Jana tha fir research kiya to mujhe boring(i mean mujhe Jama ni)) Igne Iga to. Well que is not that can I be fighter pilot but do i really want to be fighter pilot! Even if I can't (as myopic) but want to know that if I really wanted that! pcm bhi sirf usi ke liye lungi🤡.i know lasik ,prk surgeries for afcat but people say u still won't be eligible for fighters.

in short,

what should I ask myself?
