THE GATE WAY FOR NDA
Manasa Defence Academy Offers (Strengths)
These are the advantages that Manasa claims (and some seem supported by reviews):
Experienced Faculty, including Retired Officers
The academy is led by a retired Indian Navy officer, plus they have retired Army & Naval officers as trainers. This means they have inside knowledge of defence exams & the SSB process.
Holistic Training
Not just academics: they provide physical training, personality development, SSB interview preparation, group discussions, etc. That is important because NDA selection is not just about written exams.
Good Infrastructure & Facilities
Facilities like hostel (AC & non-AC), gym, mess with vegetarian/non-vegetarian food, swimming pool, playground, classrooms, proper bathing/washing places etc. These help provide a better environment for students who come from out of town.
Affordability
They claim to have “lowest fee structure” relative to what they offer, trying to balance cost and facilities.
Structured & Complete Coaching
The syllabus is covered: written exam, SSB, group discussion, personality development etc. Also, mock tests and assessments are part of the training.
Positive Feedback from Students / Community
Many reviews say students saw good improvement in scores after joining Manasa. Some mention good environment, professional behaviour, etc.
⚠️ What to Check / Possible Drawbacks / Things to Clarify
Even though Manasa seems strong, here are things you should verify so you make a good decision:
Actual Results: How many students from Manasa clear the NDA written exam + SSB? What is their success rate versus cost? Sometimes academies advertise well but results may vary.
Quality vs Class Size: Check the batch size. If batches are too large, students may not get personalised attention even if the claim is there.
Up-to-date Syllabus / Pattern Changes: NDA exam pattern or SSB requirements occasionally change. See how quickly the academy updates its teaching materi
