Below is the result of the descriptive statistics I did on the shortlisted candidates for the NDAEE - I.e the number of applications for each course/faculty.




Faculty of Engineering

Total applications is 4,353 which represent 19.94%. Breakdown is as follows:
Civil Engineering - 1,405(6.4%); Electrical Engineering 1,302(5.96%); Mechanical Engineering - 1,647(7.54%).




Faculty of Science

Total applicants is 7,289 representing 33.38%. Breakdown:
Biological sciences - 2,928(13.41%); Chemistry - 574(2.64%); Mathematics - 271(1.24%), Physics - 334(1.53%), Computer Science - 3,181(14.57%).




Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences

Total Applicants is 9,709 representing 44.47%. Breakdown is shown below:
Economics - 1,965(9%); Accounting - 1,259(5.77%); French - 9(0.04%); Geography - 1,144(5.24%); History - 243(1.11%); Political Science & Defence Studies - 4,195(19.21%); Psychology - 893(4.09%).



Faculty of Military Sciences

Total applicants is 483 constituting 2.21% of the total applicants. Breakdown is as follows:

Intelligence & Cyber Security Studies - 263(1.2%); Peace and Conflict Studies - 133(0.61%); Leadership & War Studies - 86(0.39%).



Overall, it can be seen that Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences has the highest percentage of applicants (44.47%), followed by Sciences (33.38%), Engineering (19.94%) and the lowest is Military Sciences (2.21%).




Note that for previous years e.g. 67RC, the number of cadets matriculated was about 50% Engineering, 27% Sciences and 23% Arts and Social Sciences. Hence, more Engineering students are admitted than other faculties.


This is not to scare or discourage anyone, but to show you who you'd be competing with, in order to read hard for the NDAEE.




NB: Thou shalt not worry about the competition, because the competition does not worry about thee.

Lawmosh:
ADVICE FOR ANYONE WHO CARES TO LISTEN. For all NDA applicants who made the cut-off mark and are unable to print their examination cards lets keep hope alive that things would later be rectified but my main advice is for you is not to let that bother you too much so you won't develop some serious health issues. Start looking for another alternative so as for you not to loose on both sides and if u secure admission u can keep trying NDA so u know that u already have something to hold on, if u are destined to be there you will definitely get there. You can ask our officer cadets madawaki01, Okedi2012 and many other regular customers later turned cadets 'APOLOGIES'. Again contact your Godfathers (not just Godfathers but strong Godfathers e.g service chiefs and top appointment holders) and let them know what is going, and lastly, pray to GOD because he is the one who can change the changer. As for me, I was feeling like commiting suicide initially, but now I have started moving on in life.

strong talk...RESPECT

demo4ril97:
u guys will definately make good generals I love this Union!.

yes sir...coded.
Thanx sir.

I thought this might be useful:

THINGS YOU DIDN'T KNOW ABOUT THOSE COMMISSIONED INTO THE NIGERIAN ARMY!


There are 5 types of commission in the Nigerian Army (NA) - Not Armed Forces. They are:

1. Regular Combatant (RC). Training takes 5 years.
2. Short Service Combatant (SSC). Training takes 6 - 9 months.
3. Direct Regular Combatant (DRC). Now attained on conversion from DSSC.
4. Direct Short Service Combatant (DSSC). Training takes 6 - 9 months.
5. Executive Commission (EC). Training takes 2 - 3 months.

Details of such commissions are to be found in the Harmonised Terms and Conditions of
Service (TACOS) for officers of the Nigerian Armed Forces but a summary goes thus:

RC and SSC are combatants, trained to fight battles. Others are not meant to be combatants.
Both SSC and DSSC are of relatively short durations (not more than 12 years I think,
excluding extension of service) and must convert to RC and DRC respectively to enjoy a
longer career. Theoretically, RCs and DRCs can rise to become generals ie Brigadier Generals,
Major Generals etc. (Remember the pyramid structure? The higher it gets, the smaller it
becomes. In other words, many are called but only a few are chosen). DRCs are mainly
professionals - surgeons, pharmacists, chaplains, surveyors etc. - and are usually not found
in the core combat arms of Infantry, Armour and Artillery but are be found in the Army Engineers
and Signals. ECs are made up of former soldiers and do not usually exceed the rank of Major.

There are varying criteria for the various commissions. In reality the advantage is more on
the side of those who were originally RCs than those who were originally SSCs in terms of age,
rank, numbers etc. However, anything can happen, for instance Lt. Gen. Ishaya Bamaiyi (rtd.)
rose to become Chief of Army Staff (COAS) even though he wasn't originally an RC.

Although DRCs may never become COASs or General Officers Commanding (GOCs), they can apart from
being Staff Officers also hold command posts in corps or services in which they predominate.
These include Education, Medical and Finance among others.

Life in the Army here in Nigeria can be promising, particularly now that efforts have been made
to consolidate emoluments but achievement of success or wealth in the Army (here in Nigeria as well
as is in other countries) is a product of motivation and determination. If you want to live well,
you will. If you don't, you won't. The choice is really yours!


For RC or DRC, mininum years of service is about 15 years and life as a cadet can be quite strenuous.
Generally, training is in the Infantry Corps Centre and School (ICCS), Jaji, Kaduna State. As for the
DSSs and ECs, their training is usually less strenuous, not as in NDA where RCs and SSCs are trained.
Cadets are usually humourously welcomed with the euphemism, "Unfortunate Nigerians, you will nearly die
but you will not die!" But you should survive if you are physically fit afterall, many have gone before
you. As a cadet, you are entitled to allowances which may not really cater for your family if you have one but could go a long way to help you sustain yourself.

If you wish to obtain more information on the Nigerian Army and the types of application forms available,
you can check with the Army Public Relations Department in any military barracks near you. For RC, you
need at least 5 credits including English and Mathematics. For SSC, DRC and DSSC, you must be a
graduate. Lawyers in the army are usually found in the Army Legal Services and the Military Police.
They can also be found in lesser numbers in other corps and services. As for your private practice,
it all depends on what type but you won't be expected to have your private practice as a lawyer alongside your military career.

Lastly, it is also noteworthy to say that the Nigerian Defence Academy (NDA) now offers some post-graduate
courses for those in the military as well as for those not in the military.

nice job sir, this post is HIGHLY INFORMATIVE and is STRONGLY RECOMENDED.
We need more of this.
