Hello,

The qualifying cut off score for NDA changes every year depending on the difficulty level of exam, top score, least score, total number of vacancies available and total number of candidates appeared. For NDA 1 2020 the cut off for NDA written exam was 355 marks out of 900 marks and the overall cut off (Written exam+SSB interview) was 723 marks out of 1800 marks. For NDA 1 2021 the expected cut off for written exam is going to be between 345 - 355 marks and  the overall cut off is expected to be between 705 - 715 and the expected cut off for NDA 2 2021 is going to be between 349- 359 and  the overall cut off is expected to be between 709 - 719. Considering the expected cut off you need to score minimum 360-370 marks in NDA written exam and your overall score should be above 720 to have decent chances to get recommended for Indian Naval Academy/ Indian Airforce Academy/Indian Military Academy. The eligibility criteria to get admission to IAF, or INA is that you must have passed 10+2 with Mathematics and Physics as compulsory subjects from a recognized board. The admission to any of INA/IMA/IAF is based on the final merit, number of vacancies and the priority order given by the candidate.
