On the other hand, questions based on 10+2 will be present in the NDA's Mathematics paper.

Last but not least, UPSC will hold the SSB/Interview for those who meet the requirements in the written test.

NDA 2025 Exam Pattern

The UPSC NDA 2025 exam is divided into two papers: Paper I & Paper II. Both the papers are conducted on the same day. Paper I is an advanced mathematics paper while paper II is a general ability test. One important thing to note here is that candidates need to mandatorily clear the cutoff for Paper I and only then the examiner will consider checking the copies of Paper II. Conversely, If a candidate fails to clear the NDA Mathematics cutoff, the answer sheets for paper 2 will not be considered and he/she will be designated as failed.

NDA Cutoff 2025

While preparing for the NDA exam, it is important to know how the cutoff marks are determined. The NDA 2025 cutoff for both the written exam and final selection is released after the declaration of the final result. The written exam is scored out of a total of 900 marks, and the final cutoff is based on the marks obtained by the last candidate who was selected. This is done out of 1800 marks, which incorporates 900 marks from the written exam and another 900 marks from the SSB Interview.

In each section, the candidates are required to achieve minimum prescribed marks to qualify. For both the written examination and the SSB Interview, there should be at least 25% of marks scored in every subject. All candidates, therefore, need to obtain separate cutoff marks for both the written examination and the SSB Interview.
