GANGTOK, 24 Dec: Rajya Sainik Board has prepared a roadmap for the year 2014-15 to train Sikkimese students for the Nation Defence Academy [NDA] and Combined Defence Service [CDS] examinations. This was shared by the Rajya Sainik Board Secretary, Col DN Bhutia during a press conference today.
Addressing a press conference, Col Bhutia stated that recruiting agencies have the impression that Sikkim has very little or negligible representation in the Indian Armed Forces in the Commissioned Officers ranks. Lack of awareness among young students regarding such opportunities is the main reason why many from Sikkim do not opt for the armed forces, he said. This has been revealed by a recent survey carried out by the Rajya Sainik Board in the state during the motivation cum shortlisting of students for CDS and NDA examinations and even during various recruitment rallies, added Col Bhutia.
He added that the survey also indicated that parents and guardians were ignorant of opportunities available in the Armed forces.
Col. Bhutia informed that as per the recent UPSC notification, online filing of NDA application has already commenced from 21 December and will be continue for the next one month. He encouraged students appearing for class XII board examinations to apply online for NDA. The examination will be held on 22 April next year.
He also advised those students who have applied online for NDA to contact the Rajya Sainik Board for further guidance. “These students can take part in coaching classes in the month of March-April next year,” he added.
Col Bhutia mentioned that the group of students who recently went for NDA coaching to New Delhi are high caliber students in terms of marks obtained in the Class X board examination ranging from 75% to 96% and he has high expectations from these students.
The government is sponsoring coaching for NDA and CDS; 45-day coaching camp for NDA- I candidates in March-April, 45-day coaching camp for NDA II in August-September and another 45-day coaching camp for CDS-II in September-October. It is informed that those students who qualify for the written examination will then be sent for a 14-day crash course in New Delhi to prepare for the Services Selection Board interview.
“Students who are in class XI [science stream] this year should be mentally prepared to fill up the NDA online application in the month of November-December so that they can appear for the NDA-I examination in the month of February 2015,” he suggested. He informed that college students in their final year should also apply online for CDS in the month of November 2014 so that they can sit for the examination in February 2015.

Candidates can apply for National Defence Academy after Class XII and Combined Defence Service after graduation.
