📖 NDA GAT English Preparation for NDA 1 2026 – Complete Strategy
English plays a crucial role in the NDA 1 2026 exam, as it carries 200 marks within the General Ability Test (GAT).

Reading newspapers, maintaining a vocabulary notebook, and practicing with mock tests can significantly improve accuracy and speed.
