If you are interested in NDA or armed forces then focus on three subjects maths physics and English. Maths and English are the primary requirements. And before starting preparation you have to ensure your physical and medical fitness else in the all hard will gone in vain. Once you are physically and medically fit then start your hard preparation you will surely succeed.
Good luck.
Hii dear
let me clear your doubt.
The Candidates must have to get a minimum sectional cut off of minimum 35% marks to qualify for nda exam. for final cutoff marks which mean that candidate have to score minimum 105 marks in mathematics section & 210 marks in General Ability Section to be able to qualify for overall cut off for nda exam.
I hope my answer will be helpful for you
Good luck
hi,
