NDA Postgraduate Application Form 2025/2026.

The NDA PGS was established in 2005 to offer opportunities for officers and civilians to earn higher qualifications at Postgraduate Diploma, Masters and PhD levels. The Postgraduate (PG) programmes have both full-time and part-time modes, with the latter being mainly a professional Master’s degree. Most of the programmes were mounted out of the need to put the high-level manpower available in NDA to maximum use.

The professional Master’s Degree programmes, in particular, provided an opportunity for Internally Generated Revenue (IGR) from which the Academy and the staff have benefited. All the PG programmes have their foundations in the undergraduate degree programmes of NDA.
