Question

The Indian Naval Academy is located at:

Hint:

Do not confuse this with the joint tri-service academy near Pune.

Answer 1

The question wants the location connected with naval officer training in India.

1. The Navy's training base INS Mandovi, historically associated with naval academy training, is located in Goa.
2. Today, the full fledged Indian Naval Academy operates from Ezhimala in Kerala, where naval cadets undergo their training.
3. This should not be confused with the National Defence Academy at Khadakwasla, Pune, which trains cadets for all three services jointly before their specific service training begins.

So the Naval Academy is associated with Goa, INS Mandovi, while the National Defence Academy is at Pune.
