The Department of Defense has informed the High Court that a notice that will allow women candidates to enter the National Defense Academy (NDA) examinations will be issued in May next year.
Keeping a timeline in mind, deliberate planning and careful preparation are needed to ensure the smooth introduction and seamless training of those women candidates, the department said.
