The petitioners, in this case, had pointed out different fundamental right articles that were being violated by denying women applicants the opportunity to appear for the National Defence Academy exam. The demand for NDA for girls or NDA for women by the petitioners has now been met.
Even though the Supreme Court has passed this order to allow women applicants to appear for the NDA 2 2021 exam to be held on November 14. It is to be noted that the NDA 2 application form 2021 window is closed now. So going by the SC order it is expected that UPSC might open the NDA 2 2021 application window once again for the female candidates to apply for the NDA exam.
