Frequently Asked Questions

1.How many questions are in the NDA 2022 Phase 1 paper?

This paper has 270 questions in total - 150 from General Ability and 120 from Mathematics.

2.Can I practise questions from just one subject?

Yes. Use the General Ability and Mathematics tabs at the top of the page to jump directly to that subject's question set within this paper.

3.Where can I find the Phase 2 paper for the same year?

The NDA 2022 Phase 2 paper is listed separately - you can switch to it from the "NDA Paper Wise PYQs" panel, under NDA 2022.

4.How is the NDA 2022 Phase 1 paper structured?

The NDA 2022 Phase 1 paper on MARKS has 270 questions, organised by subject:

  • General Ability: 150 questions - 150 single-correct.
  • Mathematics: 120 questions - 120 single-correct.
5.How difficult is the NDA 2022 Phase 1 paper?

Each question on MARKS carries a difficulty rating. Of the 270 rated questions in this paper, 148 (55%) are easy, 121 (45%) are medium and 1 (0%) are hard. Subject wise:

  • General Ability: 131 easy, 19 medium, 0 hard
  • Mathematics: 17 easy, 102 medium, 1 hard
6.Which chapters were asked the most in the NDA 2022 Phase 1 paper?

The chapters with the most questions in each subject were:

  • General Ability: General Science (52), English (50), and General Studies (48).
  • Mathematics: Trigonometric Ratios & Identities (12), Sequences and Series (9), and Statistics (9).
7.Where can I find the solutions for the NDA 2022 Phase 1 paper?

Open any question on this page. Its page shows the correct answer and, where one is available, the worked solution. A downloadable PDF of the whole paper is coming soon.

8.How should I use the NDA 2022 Phase 1 paper to check my preparation?

Set a timer, attempt the 270 questions as you would in the exam, and only then open the answers. Note which subjects and chapters cost you the most marks, and revise those first using the chapter-wise practice for NDA. Repeating this with other papers shows whether the same weak spots keep coming back.

9.Will the NDA 2022 Phase 1 paper help me prepare for NDA 2027?

Yes. Every past paper shows the question styles and topics NDA has asked before, and a solved paper gives you a realistic benchmark for speed and accuracy. Use it along with the other papers to spot the chapters that keep returning.
