NDA Qualifying Marks 2026

To qualify for the NDA exam 2026, candidates must score equal to or more than 25% marks in each subject. The NDA GAT paper is of 600 marks, wherein candidates must secure at least 150 marks to qualify. The NDA Mathematics paper is of 300 marks, where they need to secure 75 marks to qualify. However, securing just the qualifying marks does not get them shortlisted in the final NDA merit list 2026. Aspirants also have to secure the minimum NDA 2026 cut off to get admission.

How the NDA written exam score is calculated?

The NDA score calculation method for the NDA GAT and the math paper is the same. But the marking scheme of both the NDA papers is different. The formula for calculating the NDA GAT and mathematics score is mentioned below:

• Total NDA GAT score = (Number of correct answers x 4) - (Number of incorrect answers x 0.33)

• Total NDA mathematics score = (Number of right answers x 2.5) - (Number of wrong answers x 0.33)
