Why Use JOVIK Defence Prep Notes for NDA?
One of the several high-scoring and commonly queried subjects in the NDA GAT exam is geography. The NDA tests students’ knowledge of geography through both direct and indirect questioning. Students are asked to demonstrate an understanding of the basic facts of geography as well as a conceptual grasp of how geography works. Incidents from both India and world geography feature in these questions, and the mapping skills of students are also put to the test.
This is why we at JOVIK Defence Prep have developed visual-friendly, chapter-wise NDA Geography notes. They are fully aligned with the syllabus, and backed by a thorough analysis of past year questions.
We prepare these notes mainly for two types of students:
(1) NDA Foundation students who are studying geography in tandem with their school curriculum
(2) NDA Target full-time aspirants who, like us, wish to make geography easy and effective.
By easy and effective, we mean focusing on understandable short explanations, maps, and examples that, along with some memory tricks, will help you remember what you need to remember in geography.
