Hello sir.. Jo NDA ke through Sirf army ki preparations krna chahte h use bhi maths ka exam Dena hoga Kya??
sir is it required to score 25% in social
Hi sekhar!
Yes, The cut off is 25% in each subject means 75 marks in maths and 150 marks in GAT (general apttitude test) paper but to get qualified for SSB you have to score atleast 320.
Cutoff is generally around 40% in each paper.
Scoring 40% keeps you in a safe zone.
Then in SSB you have to score around 390+ to get admission in NDA.
All the best!!
