How are UPSC NDA Scores Calculated?

Based on the NDA marking scheme, UPSC calculates the scores of candidates. UPSC calculates NDA GAT and math paper in the same manner, however the marking scheme of both NDA papers is different. Below we have provided the formula of calculation of NDA GAT and Mathematics scores:

Formula of NDA GAT Score- Number of correct answers x 4 – Number of incorrect answers x 0.33

Formula of NDA Mathematics Score - Number of correct answers x 2.5 – Number of incorrect answers x 0.33

UPSC NDA Result 2025: Qualifying Marks

The candidates must attain a minimum of 25% marks in each subject to clear the NDA 2025 exam. The mark allotted for the NDA GAT paper is 600 marks. Here, candidates have to secure a minimum of 150 marks to qualify. The total mark for the NDA Mathematics paper is 300, wherein candidates must obtain 75 marks to qualify. However, obtaining only the qualifying marks will not allow them to qualify in the final NDA merit list 2025. Therefore, along with achieving the qualifying marks, they must obtain the minimum NDA result 2025 cutoff to get admission.

Stages of UPSC NDA Result 2025

The Commission will release the NDA result 2025 two stages; first the NDA 2025 result of the written exam will be declared and then after the completion of the SSB interview, the final NDA result will be declared. The stages are explained below:

• NDA result 2025 for Written Exam - As per the NDA exam pattern 2025, there are two papers in the NDA written exam; GAT and mathematics. Total marks allotted for both the papers are 900 marks. The Commission will shortlist those candidates who will be able to secure the qualifying NDA result 2025 cutoff marks for the written exam. They will be called for the SSB interview.
• Final NDA result 2025 - The final NDA result will be declared following the completion of the SSB interview. Based on their performance in the written exam and SSB Interview, the aspirants will be selected for the admission to Indian Army/ Navy/ Air force services.

UPSC NDA Exam 2025 Cut-off

Candidates must clear the NDA result 2025 cutoff to be on the NDA result 2025 merit list. The conducting authority will release the NDA cutoff 2025 after it has declared the final NDA result 2025 on its website. UPSC will release the NDA 2025 cutoff in the form of a PDF. The NDA Cutoff is prepared depending on various factors such as the total number of candidates appearing for the exam, total vacancies, and the difficulty level of the test.

• The cut-off is the minimum mark that a candidate must secure to qualify for the exam and become eligible for the next round.

• This cut-off score is what ensures whether a candidate will move further on the selection process or get eliminated from the admission process.
