Student reviews🏆

I find that Dehradun Defence Academy is guiding me towards a holistic preparation. We have best teachers for everything and all of them are excellent. Physical, SSB training and Academics are all taken care thoroughly. It is the best NDA coaching institute in Dehradun, period.

Faculties are nice and humble. Hostel is clean, proper care of hygiene is taken. We are trained hard physically and mentally. I like every teacher here as all of them work hard. I have been scoring well in each subject since I came here. I am happy with the progress I made.

It has been 4 months since I joined Dehradun defence academy and what I realized is this that every faculty of DDA is dedicated and punctual. A perfect blend of stuff for a cadet. it is fun being here with all class mates. The location is very lovely. The best part is it comes under top 10 nda coaching institutes in Dehradun.

I like the atmosphere and faculties here. Food in the hostel is delicious. You can go anywhere but you wont find good faculties and guidance as here. We have a big playground, we participate in cricket, football, volleyball and boxing tournaments. Love being a student of DDA .

I am from Uttarakhand , I live in the campus. We are 6 students in our room. They are like my brothers. Since I have joined the Defence Academy I have learned and improved a lot. All my doubts are resolved and I know I will become a cadet soon.

I want to join INDIAN ARMY as an officer. At Dehradun Defence Academy we are trained and treated like officers. The atmosphere here is scenic, very beautiful, It helps us to focus. I recommend that you join us if you dream of NDA. FOOD is awesome.

I am a resident of Dehradun, I joined Dehradun Defence Academy because when I visited here I had a good experience. But I stayed because the teaching system here is good. Wardens of the hostel are very kind and helpful. We have experienced faculty for every subject.

What do I like ? obviously the experienced teachers and trainers. Solid guidance for exam and ssb interview. The faculty here is truly great. Whatever they said is important and appeared in the exam. I am honored to be part of NDA coaching academy AKA- Dehradun Defence Academy.
