Indian Defence Academy builds up the confidence to crack any Defence exams. Here, I would like to share my experience as being an Indian Defence Academy cadet. There are specific faculty for every subject required in the Defence exams. The faculties are extremely supportive and friendly that we can ask our numbers of doubts anytime. I really appreciate this kind of environment within the campus where teacher and student can interact freely. Apart from academics classes there is a GTO session every week to help us in the SSB taken by Ex-service officers which eventually boost up our morale and help us to develop our personality like an officer. So count your steps, mark your destination. 'JAI HIND
