The Nigerian Defence Academy (NDA) has announced that online registration for its 78th Regular Course will commence on Friday, November 28, 2025.

According to a statement signed by the Academy’s Registrar, the application process is open to eligible male and female Nigerians seeking admission into the prestigious institution.

Prospective candidates are required to visit www.ndaapplications.net to purchase an access code and complete their application forms. The Academy explained the process as follows:

Log on to the portal and select “Purchase Access Code.”

Provide the required personal details to generate an Order ID and RRR code.

Make payment of ₦7,000 through REMITA using the generated RRR code.

The NDA emphasised that payments must be made only through the RRR codes generated on the application portal, warning that no alternative payment channels will be recognised. Applicants are also advised to carefully study the application guidelines before completing their forms.

The Academy also reminded the public to ignore fake lists of successful and reserve candidates for the 2025 Armed Forces Selection Board, which had circulated in August, and to rely solely on information released through official NDA channels.

This registration marks an important opportunity for aspiring officers to join one of Nigeria’s most prestigious military training institutions.
