The Nigerian Defence Academy (NDA) has officially announced June 14, 2025, as the date for the commencement of its nationwide application process for the 77 Regular Course.
In a statement released by the NDA registrar, all interested candidates who scored 180 and above in the 2025 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) are advised to take note of the date and begin preparations.
The academy emphasized that prospective applicants must complete their applications before the deadline and ensure they secure their acknowledgement forms. Incomplete applications will automatically disqualify candidates from the screening exercise.
The statement also clarified that after the application portal closes, applicants must choose their preferred screening test centres between June 5 and June 9, 2025.
Only candidates who complete every stage of the application process—including selecting a screening centre and printing the acknowledgement form—will be eligible to participate in the screening test.
The NDA urged all qualified candidates to adhere strictly to the application guidelines to avoid missing this opportunity to join one of Nigeria’s premier military training institutions.
