The Nigerian Defence Academy (NDA) has officially announced Thursday that the screening test for shortlisted applicants for the 77 Regular Course will take place on June 14, 2025.

Major Mohammad Maidawa, the Academy Spokesman, made this announcement in a statement released in Kaduna, providing important information for all applicants.

Selection Process Based on Official JAMB Results

"The Nigerian Defence Academy hereby notifies all applicants to the 77 Regular Course that the shortlist for the screening test on 14 June, is based on the official UTME results sent by JAMB to the Academy," the statement read.

Major Maidawa advised candidates to check the NDA portal to confirm their status, noting that network issues should not be considered as the reason for not being shortlisted.

"Afterwards, those who were not shortlisted for the screening test are advised to verify the current status of their results from the JAMB," he added.

Next Steps for Candidates

Shortlisted candidates are expected to prepare adequately for the screening test, which forms a critical part of the selection process for admission into the prestigious military training institution.

The Nigerian Defence Academy, located in Kaduna, is the premier military university in Nigeria that trains officer cadets for commissioning into the Nigerian Armed Forces.

The 77 Regular Course represents the latest intake of potential military officers who will undergo rigorous training to serve in various capacities within Nigeria's military establishment.

Candidates are encouraged to regularly check the official NDA portal for any additional information or updates regarding the upcoming screening test.
