Not a job. A calling.
Founded by retired officers and seasoned educators, CSMAFPI exists for one purpose: to turn ambitious young men and women from Central India into officers of the Indian Armed Forces.
Many deserving candidates miss the forces, not for lack of talent but for lack of the right guidance.
Defence aspirants are often unsure how to prepare for the competitive examination and how to face the Services Selection Board. The material available online and offline is not enough on its own. Plenty of coaching centres in India guide students for IIT JEE, but very few channel them into the National Defence Academy and the 10+2 Technical Entry Scheme. Those that do often get students through the written test and then stop, because they focus only on academics and rarely on the SSB.
Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Armed Forces Preparatory Institute was set up to close that gap. We blend the two essentials, preparation for the UPSC written test and systematic grooming for the SSB interview, over two years, alongside the student’s 11th and 12th education.
NDA Vision 60 is the brand name of our Nagpur institute and its Day Scholar programme. Our residential cadets train at the Butibori campus, presented on csmafpi.org.
In our culture, education has always mattered, for girls as much as for boys. At this institute it does not stop at the classroom door. It carries on at the playground, on the drill square and in the debates, quizzes and camps that fill the rest of the week.
Good teaching builds discipline, knowledge and self-belief. Every day, we work to make each cadet a little better than the day before, and to raise young people who can take a decision on their own and stand by it, in uniform or out of it.
Good luck. Jai Hind!
“The Institute aims at training selected young boys and girls from Central India for permanent commission in the Armed Forces through the National Defence Academy and the Technical Entry Scheme (TES).”
Nagpur’s training centre for NDA aspirants. Class 11 and 12 science and defence preparation run on one timetable, with discipline and leadership built in from the first week.
To send disciplined, fit and well-prepared young men and women to the NDA, ready to serve the nation with honour and courage.
Experienced defence professionals and dedicated educators who guide aspirants academically, physically and mentally, so they face NDA training with confidence.
NDA training in Nagpur that combines 11th and 12th-grade education with specialised NDA coaching, so students never have to choose between the boards and their goal.
Along with academic preparation, cadets are groomed for the selection board itself: personality development, communication, group tasks and leadership. See how we coach for the SSB.
Our team includes defence veterans and subject specialists who give personal guidance and share insights into military life at every stage of the NDA selection process.
Starting at Class 11 gives students two full years to build the knowledge, fitness and personality the forces look for.
The institute is promoted and managed by management experts, defence experts and retired officers, with the military infrastructure that NDA and SSB preparation needs.
