Arrrrrrrh

To answer your questions sequentially, Yes NDA combatant are more expose, more valued and more respected in the military because the have gone through that 4-5 under the military training consecutively. Both Academically and Military training.

No, it's not a certificate but a qualifications. A valued one.

Like i have said NDA graduate have upper hand and more opportunities than a normal DSSC graduate.

DSSC are civilians or military personnel who would go through a 1 year training. They are often professionals and thier aage range should not be less than 35. While SSC are civilians or military personnels who can go through a one year training and being posted to place like artillery or infantry because they have strength. Thier age range should not be less than 27.


While recruit on the other hand are normal soldiers with Secondary school certificate who after 6 months are commission non officers soldiers. The apex of their range range is an MWO. It's very hard to scale through to Second lieutenant.

A DSSC candidate can't join the NDA because he is a professional having gone to the university.

A recruit, he can't because he's a serving personal in the military already .
