The structural and electronic properties of NdX (X = As and Sb) monopnictides have been studied using full potential linearized augmented plane wave (FP-LAPW) method within local spin density approximation (LSDA) along with Hubbard parameter (LSDA+U). The calculated values of ground state properties and phase transition pressure from B1 to BCT phase are in good agreement with previous experimental and theoretical results. The electronic band structure and density of states reveal metallic nature of these compounds.
