Each year around 7k students qualify the NDA written examination but after the ssb, only 400 are finally selected.
If I tell you about written examination qualifying cut off marks then
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. And at least 25 % in each paper separately i. e 75 marks in maths & 125 marks in GAT separately.
