Chandigarh, October 10
In a historic achievement, Punjab’s Maharaja Ranjit Singh Armed Forces Preparatory Institute (MRSAFPI), Mohali, has recorded an outstanding 87.7% success rate in the NDA (II) Written Examination. As many as 57 out of 65 cadets from the Institute have qualified for the prestigious NDA-158 Course, scheduled to commence in June 2027.
In another notable achievement, seven out of 30 aspirants who attended a two-month intensive crash course at the Institute also cleared the examination. The successful candidates will now appear for the Services Selection Board (SSB) interview, the next crucial stage in the selection process for entry into the Indian Armed Forces.
Congratulating the successful cadets, Punjab Employment Generation, Skill Development and Training Minister Aman Arora said, “These young cadets are the pride of Punjab. Their dedication and hard work have brought laurels to the state. I wish them the very best for the forthcoming SSB interviews and the rigorous training ahead.”
