NDA Aspirant's Road to Success
Holistic NDA Training with Comprehensive SSB Preparation at CSMAFPI
We just don't Teach we Inspire
Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Armed Forces Preparatory Institute (CSMAFPI) takes a holistic approach to preparing deserving students for the National Defence Academy (NDA) while simultaneously equipping them to excel in their 11th and 12th board exams.
While numerous coaching centers in India specialize in guiding students for IIT JEE (Mains and Advanced), very few focus on shaping candidates for the NDA. These institutes may help students clear the NDA written examination but often fall short in ensuring final selection due to limited emphasis on Services Selection Board (SSB) interview preparation. At Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj AFPI, we address this gap with a dual-focus approach. Students receive expert training not only for the NDA written exam conducted by UPSC and IIT JEE (Mains) but are also systematically groomed over two years to excel in the SSB interview process. This unique blend of academic excellence and comprehensive SSB training makes CSMAFPI a premier NDA training institute, empowering students to achieve their ultimate goal of joining the National Defence Academy.
