Student Testimonials
Centurion Defence Academy has firmly established itself as the most-loved destination among students for defence exam preparation.
Taking admission into Centurion Defence Academy for my NDA preparation was one of the best decisions I have made. As a student of NDA 152 Batch, AIR-59, I experienced the dedication and passion of the entire Centurion team, especially our SSB Mentor, Shishir Sir, who played a crucial role in grooming us into future officers. The teachers are true experts in their respective domains, and the study material is meticulously researched and curated. Their state-of-the-art SSB ground provided excellent training facilities. Regular weekly mock tests and assessment classes helped us track our progress and continuously improve.
I can’t thank Shishir Sir enough for his invaluable role in my success in SSC TECH - AIR 20. His personalized guidance helped me crack the exam and achieve my dream of serving my country. Shishir Sir and his team not only trained us to tackle the exam effectively but also emphasized the importance of maintaining both mental and physical well-being. Following a disciplined daily routine played a crucial role in this journey. For those who are truly committed to joining the Armed Forces and seeking result-oriented, high-quality training, Centurion Defence Academy is the ultimate destination.
From aspiring to join the Armed Forces to actually being selected was an amazing journey in itself. I want to thank Centurion Defence Academy for helping me achieve my dream. As a student of NDA 152 Batch, AIR-18, I received personalized feedback and guidance under Shishir Sir, who personally ensured that we were well-prepared not only for the written exam but also for the SSB interview. The study material was thoroughly researched and curated as per the requirements of the examination. We also underwent rigorous SSB training under the guidance of highly experienced mentors.
I thank Centurion Defence Academy from the bottom of my heart for being such an amazing institution when it comes to the preparation for NDA. They actually helped me make my dream come true of joining the National Defence Academy. They truly do what they say! As a student of NDA 152 Batch, AIR-32, I experienced their well-structured curriculum, exceptional study material, and dedicated teaching staff. Also, for SSB training, they have a properly equipped GTO ground. They take their training sessions very seriously, and we were trained by highly experienced mentors for our SSB interview.
As an NDA 151 recommended candidate and a proud Centurion, I can say that Centurion Defence Academy puts great effort into generating officers who can be recruited into the armed forces. The personality development classes are the ones that helped me boost my confidence and perform my best at the SSB interview. The best defence coaching I would recommend to those who dream of donning the uniform. Shoutout to Shishir Sir for making the preparation journey a whole lot more rewarding with the personality development classes.
From the very beginning, I was impressed by the comprehensive and well-structured curriculum designed to cover all aspects of the NDA examination. The teachers know their stuff inside out. No beating around the bush—just straight-up useful info. Small classes meant you could talk to the instructors and get your questions sorted without feeling lost in a sea of students. The teachers exhibited an unparalleled level of knowledge in their subjects, ensuring that every topic was thoroughly explained and linked to its practical application in the NDA examination.
From someone aspiring to join the prestigious Armed Forces to being recommended at NDA 151, my journey was significantly enriched and guided by the exceptional support and expertise offered by the dedicated team at Centurion and personalized guidance of Sir Shishir Dixit. He has been a coach to me and helped me at every step of my NDA preparation. It wasn't just about hitting the books; Centurion cared about us as individuals. Always pushing us to do better, but also understanding when the going got tough.
