The NDA exam will be of OMR (Optical Mark Reader) type. Questions will be MCQ type with for options of each question. The candidates are required to use black ball pen for marking correct answers on the OMR sheet. These OMR sheets are scanned thru Optical Mark reader and automatically the data is transferred to the computer. Hence it is advisable that the candidate should mark the answer properly by filling the circle with black ball pen. Any other pen-like ink pen or pencil should not be used. Moreover, only one option should be marked, as marking more than one option will be considered as wrong answer and negative marks will be given a penalty.
