SRNTH 2.0: All India NDA & CDS Mock Test Initiative Announced by Centurion Defence Academy

Serious preparation for defence examinations like the NDA and CDS requires much more than simply completing the syllabus. Aspirants must regularly evaluate their preparation under real exam conditions to understand their performance, identify weak areas, and compare themselves with other candidates at a national level.

To support this kind of practical preparation, Centurion Defence Academy has introduced two major mock test initiatives for defence aspirants in March 2026.

The academy is first conducting a Free Online NDA Mock Test on 15 March 2026, followed by a large-scale national offline mock examination called SRNTH 2.0 on 29 March 2026.

Both initiatives are designed to help aspirants practice the exam pattern, analyse their performance, and experience competitive testing similar to the actual UPSC examinations.
