There is no reservation for any category, because here you are talking about the one of the most prestigious institutions of our country for which any case and religion doesn't matters, so work on yourself became able to qualify the written, interview and medical.

There is no reservation in NDA for reserved category candidates, There is no concept of minimum cut off in NDA. UPSC calls candidates based on merit in NDA exam and number of vacancies in a particular batch approved by GOI.

There is no individual category cutoff in defense. The cutoff is final for all categories. Normally, if you have 350 out of 900, you have good changes of clearing cutoff, but to be on safer side score more than 400 with at least 100 marks in Maths paper. All the best.
