Which is a better option among IIT and NDA?
-
That depends on you that what you are interested in. If you are interested in serving our country you can choose NDA and if you want to become the only engineer and only want to do technical work then you can choose IIT. But there are options in NDA to choose a technical line and you can do both serve your country and become an engineer.

It is your choice. NDA gives a decent job in Defence forces as a commissioned officer where as IIT gives you Good Technical education. Thereafter you have to look for job.

Both IIT and NDA are completely different fields of making a better career. On one hand, NDA is to serve your country's defence and on the other hand, in IIT, you can build your country with better structure. It completely depends on you that in which field among these you have your interest. Choose wisely!

6 years agoWritten exam of NDA is easier if you are good at GK and English. But taking the overall process and selection ratio into the picture NDA beats JEE anyday. Neither I think NDA is tougher than IIT JEE nor I think IIT JEE is tougher than NDA Because both are tough at there own level. General ability test is pretty easy if you ask me. There's literally General type questions. While maths is a bit hard, not as hard as JEE though, you just need to have your 11th and 12th maths cleared with their concepts (NCERT), and it'll be a piece of cake. What's actually hard is the SSB interview after NDA. -
Both are two different things and has different scope in future. Being an officer through NDA gives you various opportunities to apply your zeal in different areas such as infantry, artillery or flying. Moreover, IIT involve an altogether different area, which will give you opportunity to apply your brilliance in research or management or something different. Just sit and think what you actually want from your life.

Both are East and West of the streams. Also, both are one of the best things to do with your life. The decision totally depends on you. What you like is what you get. If you want to enter the technical industry and engineering industry, go for IIT. But, if your dream is to serve the nation and feel proud of yourself doing something good for your country, go for NDA.
