Hello,

To get shortlisted for SSB interview you must score the sectional cut off marks as well as overall cut off marks in NDA Entrance Examination. The sectional cut off marks is constant every year but the overall cut off marks changes every year. The minimum marks that you need to score in each subject is 25%. The overall expected cut off marks for NDA 2022 is in between 349-359 marks. Cut off depends on total number of vacancies, total number of candidates applied etc. To get admission in to NDA you must score the cut off marks specified for NDA written exam and SSB Interview (out off 1800) and you must clear the Medical Examination.

Hi aspirant,

No, you would not be called for SSB counseling if you just pass the sectional cutoffs in NDA examination. Actually to clear the written test one needs to clear the overall cutoff (near 350 marks) as well as sectional cutoffs 25% each and mere passing thee sectional cutoff is not enough. To know about cutoffs and more visit NDA Cut Off 2022 - Check Qualifying Marks, Previous year & Expected Cutoff (careers360.com)

Hope it helps!!

Hi

No, just getting sectional cut off won't help you in qualifying NDA. You need to qualify with its overall cut off as well to be called for SSB.

Predicting cut off marks is quite difficult, as it depends upon a number of factors like

-----------------) Number of students appearing in the nda examination.

-----------------) The difficulty or toughness level of the NDA examination question paper

-----------------) Number of  vacancies available

Anyway,

Cut off will be more or less similar to past year trends which is given below:-

There's sectional cut off in NDA written examination i. e you need at least 25 % in each paper.

i. e You need at least

• 25 % in maths i. e 25 % of 300 = 75 marks

• 25 % in GAT i. e 25 % of 600 = 125 marks

You can check the same at :- https://competition.careers360.com/articles/nda-cut-off

So, to be on the safer side, to clear the NDA written examination, you need to target at least around 360 marks out of 900 to be on the safer side to clear overall cut off. And at least 25 % in each paper separately i. e 75 marks in maths & 125 marks in GAT separately.
