Is NDA Harder Than JEE?

Introduction

The claim under examination is whether the National Defence Academy (NDA) exam is harder than the Joint Entrance Examination (JEE). This comparison is significant for students in India who are preparing for these competitive exams, as both serve different purposes and attract a diverse pool of candidates. The NDA exam is aimed at selecting candidates for the Indian Armed Forces, while the JEE is primarily for admission into engineering colleges.

What We Know

  1. NDA Exam Structure: The NDA exam includes a General Ability Test (GAT) and Mathematics, with a total of around 350 seats available per intake cycle. The selection rate is approximately 29% of candidates who apply, indicating a competitive environment [3][4].

  2. JEE Exam Structure: The JEE is divided into two parts: JEE Main and JEE Advanced, with a significantly larger number of candidates competing for limited seats in prestigious engineering institutions. The selection ratio for JEE is notably lower, with estimates suggesting it to be around 0.15% when considering both JEE Main and Advanced [5].

  3. Subject Overlap: There is a considerable overlap in the syllabus for both exams, with JEE covering about 60-70% of the NDA syllabus. This suggests that students who excel in JEE may find the NDA exam less challenging in terms of content familiarity [5].

  4. Perceived Difficulty: Various sources indicate differing opinions on the difficulty levels of the two exams. Some argue that the NDA exam is easier due to its focus on General Knowledge and English, which may not require the same depth of understanding as the advanced topics covered in JEE [4][5]. Others contend that the JEE's complexity, particularly in mathematics and physics, makes it more challenging overall [3].

Analysis

The comparison of difficulty between NDA and JEE is subjective and influenced by various factors, including individual strengths and preparation strategies.

  • Source Reliability: The sources cited provide a mix of perspectives. For example, the article from Olivesquad [3] discusses the competitive nature of both exams but does not provide detailed statistical analysis or empirical data to support its claims. Conversely, the Careers360 article [5] offers a more quantitative approach by comparing selection ratios, which adds a layer of credibility.

  • Bias and Conflicts of Interest: Some sources may have inherent biases. For instance, the article from SSB Crack [4] appears to downplay the NDA's difficulty, possibly to attract more candidates to its preparatory services. This potential conflict of interest should be considered when evaluating the claims made.

  • Methodological Concerns: The analysis of difficulty is often based on anecdotal evidence or personal experiences, which can vary widely among students. A more rigorous approach would involve statistical analysis of pass rates, average scores, and candidate feedback across multiple years.

  • Lack of Comprehensive Data: While there are various opinions on the difficulty of the exams, comprehensive studies comparing the two directly are limited. Additional information that could enhance understanding includes standardized metrics of performance, psychological assessments of candidate stress levels, and longitudinal studies tracking candidate success rates post-examination.

Conclusion

Verdict: Mostly False

The claim that the NDA exam is harder than the JEE is deemed "Mostly False" based on the evidence reviewed. While both exams present unique challenges, the selection ratios indicate that the JEE is significantly more competitive, with a selection rate of approximately 0.15% compared to the NDA's 29%. Furthermore, the substantial overlap in syllabus suggests that students who excel in JEE may find the NDA exam less challenging. However, perceptions of difficulty are subjective and can vary based on individual strengths and preparation strategies.

It is important to note that the available evidence is limited and largely anecdotal, with few comprehensive studies directly comparing the two exams. This lack of rigorous data means that while we can draw some conclusions, there remains a degree of uncertainty regarding the overall difficulty comparison. Readers are encouraged to critically evaluate the information presented and consider their own experiences and strengths when assessing the difficulty of these exams.

Fact Check: Transcript 00:00 For all of their strutting about protesting that they support democracy. Not a one of them gave a damn about democracy when they pulled Biden off the ballot and dropped Kamala Harris in without a single Democrat primary voter voting for him. And you know what? Not a single Democrat is here today because not a single one of them gives a damn about the fact that they lied to the American people for four years. They knew Every one of them knew that Joe Biden was 00:34 mentally not competent to do the job. The White House Press Secretary. She knew when she stood in front of the American people and lied over and over and over again and they're not here because they can't defend themselves. It wasn't a surprise for four years the White House hid President Biden from Republican Senators. Would not let him meet with us. He served 40 years in this body. We all know him. And they deliberately lied and by the way Jake Tapper had a bombshell 01:08 book exposing the incredible scandal that Biden's mental decline was covered up by Jake Tapper. There's a Yiddish word and that truly is how dare we lie and cover up what we all knew. Now I have been asked literally a thousand times by Texans. Was running the country? And I'm going to give 01:40 you the most terrifying answer. I don't know. I genuinely don't know. And not a single Democrat here cares. The most telling proof of Biden's decline came with the signature of the president. The symbol of executive authority that was outsourced to a machine. Mister Wald you're a lawyer who served in the White House Council's Office. You understand the gravity of presidential action. Does the president's signature 02:10 carry legal and constitutional weight under article two? Yes. Is the act of signing an executive order or signing a law or granting a pardon a delegable duty of the president. Uh so in that opinion in 2005 from OLC they said essentially that an autopin could be used by a subordinate but the president's determination as to sign the document can never be delegated. Can that authority 02:41 be transferred to a staff or a machine without the president's explicit authorization? Never. And if you look at the statistics, the statistics are stunning. In 2021, President Biden issued 78 executive orders. None were signed with an auto pen. That first year the presidency, Biden I suppose was relatively lucid and 78 executive orders he signed by hand. The second year, however, we see the auto pen emerged. 03:15 The first auto pen executive order was issued on 15th 2022. After that day 100% of the executive orders issued in 2022 were signed by an autopen. In 2023 Biden issued twenty-four executive orders. 16 were auto penned. In 20twenty-four Biden issued 19. 14 were auto penned. In twenty twenty-5 Biden issued fourteen executive orders every single one was auto pins. 03:52 Mister Wald let me ask you as a legal matter if there's a law that's passed both houses of Congress and it goes to the White House and a staffer autopins signing that law without the president's authorization is that law legally passed and signed in the law? No. If an executive order is issued and a staffer autopins it without the president's authorization, is that executive order legally binding? No. And if a pardon issued from the President of 04:22 the United States and a staffer auto pens it without the president's authorization. Is that pardon legally binding? No. Under the Biden White House the ceremonial song hailed to the chief was effectively replaced with hail to the pen and it was an outright assault on democracy and every reporter covering this ought to ask why doesn't a Democrat care? We heard about the moral responsibilities of a staffer. 04:54 How about an elected senator who knows damn well that if we get into a war and Iran is preparing to fire a nuclear weapon at the United States that the commander in chief is busy playing with his jello and he's not competent to defend ourselves and every member of the cabinet, the chief of staff, the press secretary, and the members of Congress who lied about this on a daily basis with the press's complicity. They are all responsible for subverting democracy. Angry Ted Cruz is perhaps my favorite version of 05:27 Ted Cruz because when he's getting history on it, you might want to take a listen. He is definitely angry that there's some acting going on here in the line of hail to the chief change from hail to the pen that's not a smart line but it's still the truth. The truth is in this video right here ladies and gentlemen. The change in the way Joe Biden used the autopin is a steady upward moving graph from twenty twenty-one to the end of his presidency in early twenty 05:58 twenty-five. Okay? That is a noticeable issue. And if he does not directly authorize the autopin we've got We've got grounds to go through every single law Joe Biden has signed that way and perhaps ignore them all together. There's way more evidence behind the autopin theory and hopefully it ends up sticking. I I hope it does because I think this is in a way worse than the Bill Clinton perjury case. Cuz Bill 06:28 Clinton basically lied before Congress lied directly to the American people lied under oath. This is worse in a way. Because lying under oath means that you know where the truth is and you're just hoping to get away with it and there's a direct law. This however Signing with the auto pin is more opaque. It is an ultimate he said she said and you're dont rate the opinion oo just fact if there is
