If you are preparing for the NDA (National Defence Academy) exam, one common question is: “How much weight is required for NDA?”
The important point is that NDA does not have one fixed weight requirement for every candidate. Your acceptable weight depends mainly on your height, age and medical standards. UPSC’s NDA medical guidelines provide height-wise weight ranges for candidates.
Is There a Fixed Weight Required for NDA?
No. Your weight is assessed in relation to your height and age.
For example, according to the official NDA medical standards for male candidates below 20 years:
| Height | Minimum Weight | Maximum Weight |
|---|---|---|
| 160 cm | 44 kg | 59 kg |
| 165 cm | 46 kg | 63 kg |
| 170 cm | 49 kg | 66 kg |
| 175 cm | 52 kg | 70 kg |
| 180 cm | 55 kg | 75 kg |
| 185 cm | 58 kg | 79 kg |
| 190 cm | 61 kg | 83 kg |
| 195 cm | 65 kg | 87 kg |
| 200 cm | 68 kg | 92 kg |
These figures are from the UPSC-published NDA medical standards; the permitted range varies with age and height.
What About Female Candidates?
Female candidates also have prescribed height-wise weight standards. For example, the official chart lists a minimum of 41 kg at 160 cm for candidates below 20 years, with the maximum weight determined by the applicable age category.
Therefore, candidates should not compare their weight with a single “ideal NDA weight.” Instead, check the official height-and-age chart applicable to you.

Does Weight Affect NDA Medical Selection?
Yes. During the medical examination, candidates are assessed against the prescribed medical standards. Candidates outside the applicable weight range may be considered medically unacceptable.
However, weight is only one part of the NDA medical assessment. Overall fitness and other medical parameters are also considered.
How to Prepare for NDA Medical Fitness
If you are preparing for NDA, don’t focus only on reducing or increasing your weight.
Build your preparation around:
- Regular running and cardio
- Strength and bodyweight exercises
- Balanced nutrition
- Proper sleep and recovery
- Maintaining a healthy body composition
- Regular physical activity
- Consistent NDA written-exam preparation
Avoid extreme dieting or rapid weight changes just to reach a particular number.
