For students who dream of wearing the uniform and serving the nation, the National Defence Academy (NDA) is the ultimate gateway to a career in the Indian Armed Forces. The competition is tough — but success comes to those who start early. That’s why the NDA Foundation Course after 10th in Dehradun, offered by Pestle Weed School, is the ideal launchpad for young aspirants.
Preparing for NDA isn’t just about clearing a written exam — it involves mental toughness, physical fitness, leadership skills, and a sharp academic foundation. Starting after Class 10 allows students to build all of these gradually, in a structured environment, rather than rushing in the final year of school.
By joining a foundation course early, students can align their academic learning with targeted NDA preparation, giving them an edge over others who begin later.
Situated in the scenic and safe environment of Dehradun, Pestle Weed School is one of India’s top residential schools with a specialized focus on defence career training. Our NDA Foundation Course is tailored for students who have completed Class 10 and are serious about joining the Indian Army, Navy, or Air Force through NDA.
We provide an integrated curriculum that covers both CBSE academic studies and intensive NDA coaching — all within a disciplined, defence-inspired campus.
Our foundation course combines CBSE syllabus (Class 11 & 12) with structured NDA preparation. Subjects like Mathematics, English, Science, and General Studies are taught with a dual approach — ensuring success in both board exams and the NDA entrance test.
Our teachers are subject experts with years of experience in NDA exam preparation. Students are also guided by retired defence personnel who provide insights into military life and mentor them for SSB interviews.
Physical fitness is a key NDA requirement. We offer daily PT, obstacle training, sports activities, and stamina-building exercises that prepare students for the defence lifestyle from an early stage.
Our program includes personality development, communication skills, group discussions, and mock interviews — all essential for clearing the SSB (Services Selection Board) interview.
At Pestle Weed, we focus on shaping future officers. Students are trained in time management, teamwork, decision-making, and public speaking — the qualities that make a true leader.
Our fully residential campus ensures a focused, distraction-free environment. With modern classrooms, sports facilities, libraries, and hostel accommodations, students live and learn in a community driven by discipline and purpose.
We regularly organize motivational sessions with serving and retired officers, academy visits, and seminars to give students real insight into what life in the armed forces looks like.
Dehradun is home to many of India’s top educational and military institutions, including the Indian Military Academy (IMA). With its calm environment, pleasant weather, and strong defence legacy, it’s the perfect place for young minds to focus, grow, and prepare for a career in the armed forces.
