    NDA considers a score between 400 and 500 marks to be a secure range and get into the final merit list. Candidates need to pass each subject with a minimum of 25% marks. However, there is no sectional cut-off.Candidates are required to score a minimum of around 25% marks in each subject to clear the NDA Written Examination. Candidates clearing the Written Exam will be called in for the SSB Interview.The number of attempts at the NDA entrance exam is unlimited.
