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.

Here's a brief of NDA examination pattern:-

Papers	Subject	No. of Questions	Maximum marks	Duration
Paper 1	Mathematics	120	300	2 hours 30 minutes
Paper 2	GAT	150	600	2 hours 30 minutes
Total			900	5 hours

NDA Examination pattern for Maths

Total Questions	120
Total Marks	300
Marks allotted to each question	2.5
Negative marking for each incorrect response	-0.83

NDA examination pattern for General Ability Test

Part B - General Knowledge	Physics	100
	Chemistry	60
	General Science	40
	History, Freedom Movement, etc.	80
