is there any sectional cutoff in NDA in GAT part. Like is there any minimum marks to be scored in English and GS seperately?
Hi
Yes, there's sectional cut off in NDA.
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
Within GAT, there's no sectional cut off means there's minimum cut off separately in English, you need at least 25 % in GAT overall.
