Hello

It depends on the specific year's cutoff and the category you belong , Since the cutoffs vary each year , especially for different branches and categories (like EWS, OBC, etc.) , it's essential to check the latest official cutoff trends . For a rank of 440 , it may be competitive enough , but you should refer to the current cutoff data for your category to estimate your chances .

As for your fitness for joining the Navy , it's based on physical and medical standards . which include good overall health , physical fitness and vision . Since you mentioned having a Physically Challenged Disability (PCD) , it could affect your eligibility for certain roles .

However , the Navy may have specific roles available for individuals with certain types of disabilities , so it's advisable to check with the recruitment authority about the specific conditions under which you might be eligible .
