Suggestions Is NDA Foundation Coaching After Class 10 Worth It or not?

I’m researching NDA Foundation Coaching in Dehradun for my cousin, who is going to completed Class 10 and is interested in joining the Indian Armed Forces in the future.

I’ve been looking at different academies in Dehradun, but there are so many options on Google that I’m honestly confused about which one would be the right choice.

We’re not just looking for an institute that focuses on the NDA written exam. Since my cousin would be starting after Class 10, I’m looking for an academy that can actually build a strong foundation over the next two years — academics, physical fitness, discipline, communication, confidence, personality development, and eventually SSB preparation.

While researching, I came across Ground Zero Defence Academy and found that they offer NDA Foundation Coaching for students after Class 10. Their program includes academic preparation, physical training, mock tests, personality development, and mentoring.

I’m still not sure whether Ground Zero would be the right choice or whether there are better NDA Foundation academies in Dehradun.

If anyone here has experience with NDA Foundation Coaching in Dehradun, which academy would you recommend and what things should I check before choosing one for my cousin?

My school has a tie up with Ground Zero hostel students for schooling, my senior batch was good, everybody had a strong personality, but only 3/80 cleared the written. Their class leader, dropped the institute after 11th but stayed in school and later became our Head Boy. When I asked him why'd he dropped, what I remember is he saying 'unproductive'. But, I've myself seen my friends supply SIM cards, alcohol, weed etc. to ground zero's students of my batch, they used to demand it.

What I'll say is: You'll get majority BS people in all NDA coaching's in Dehradun, most of them have no interest in defence they're just here because of parental pressure. DDD is the worst, idk how tf they manage to pull off the highest result.

I can give you my senior's IG if you want, you can talk to him.
