    The NDA exam indeed has a sectional cut-off, but it's not as straightforward as a minimum marks requirement. There's no separate minimum marks requirement for each section in the NDA written exam.

    You need to score a minimum of 25% marks in each section to qualify for the overall cut-off. This means even if you score very high in one section, a score below 25% in the other section will disqualify you.

    While there's no specific minimum marks to "pass" each section, focus on performing well overall to ensure you meet the qualifying cut-off, which is the minimum total score required to be shortlisted for the SSB Interview.

    The sectional NDA cut off is decided out of the total marks in each subject. The sectional cutoff is 25 per cent in each subject. Apart from the qualifying marks, candidates are also required to secure the overall cut off marks. The cut off marks are calculated out of 900 marks. NDA cut off marks are calculated based on the various factors such as the difficulty level of the exam, number of vacancies, total marks and number of test takers. Candidates need to secure the cut off marks separately in the written exam and SSB interview. The final merit list is prepared based on the marks obtained in the written exam and SSB interview.
