Why Use JOVIK Defence Prep Notes for NDA?
Mathematics underpins the NDA written exam. The 300 marks in Paper 1 allotted to Mathematics often make or break a candidate based on how many clear the cut-off. This fact has inspired us to create structured NDA Maths Notes that are rich in not just formulas but also pertinent Previous Year Questions (PYQs), to ensure not just clarity but also exam relevance.
At JOVIK Defence Prep, we hold the belief that complex things can be made simple. Our way of preparing notes is a reflection of that ideology. We target two specific sets of students in our endeavor: one set is the NDA Foundation students (Class 11/12), and the other is the NDA Target aspirants who are preparing with a post-school mindset. Now, if you’re someone who is out there grappling with the concept of Trigonometry, or if you’re hunting for just-in-time notes to add some flair to your quick revision in Calculus, then you should definitely check out these notes.

To crack NDA Maths, focus on high-weightage chapters like Algebra, Matrices & Determinants, Trigonometry, Coordinate Geometry, Calculus, and Probability. These topics frequently appear in both NDA 1 and NDA 2 papers. Cover all NCERT Class 11 and 12 chapters and revise PYQs regularly.
Some NDA Maths questions are conceptually simple but can be calculation-heavy if approached the long way. However, with the right formulas, shortcut tricks, and enough practice, most questions can be solved within a minute. Regular PYQ practice helps reduce time per question.
Start by identifying your weak chapters using the NDA syllabus. Focus first on scoring topics like Trigonometry, Algebra, and Statistics. Use simple notes with solved examples, then solve PYQs of those topics. Build your confidence slowly and use formula revision sheets daily.
NDA Foundation students (in Class 11 or 12) can align their school syllabus with NDA preparation. The only difference is that they need more time management, as they’re preparing for school + NDA simultaneously. The JOVIK NDA Maths notes are designed to help both droppers and Foundation aspirants.
