Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs): National Defence Academy (NDA) cut-off marks:
What is the cut-off mark for the NDA entrance exam?
The cut-off mark for the NDA entrance exam, conducted by the Union Public Service Commission (UPSC), varies each year based on several factors such as the difficulty level of the exam, the number of candidates, and the number of available positions. Typically, the cut-off marks are announced after the declaration of results. For a rough idea, previous years have seen cut-offs around 340-360 out of 900 in the written exam, combined with a minimum score required in the SSB interview.
How is the NDA cut-off mark calculated?
The NDA cut-off mark is determined based on the total marks obtained by candidates in the written examination and the SSB interview. The written examination consists of two papers: Mathematics and General Ability Test (GAT), and each has its cut-off which contributes to the final score. The SSB interview also has a separate cut-off. The overall cut-off is a composite score that includes both the written scores and the interview scores.
Does the NDA cut-off mark differ by category?
Generally, the NDA cut-off marks are uniform across all categories (General, SC, ST, OBC, etc.) as the NDA does not implement reservation in the selection process based on category. However, different states or union territories might see slight variations in the cut-off scores due to the varying number of applicants and the level of competition among them.
Can I predict the NDA cut-off mark for my exam year?
Predicting the exact NDA cut-off mark for any given year can be challenging due to the factors involved, such as changes in exam pattern, difficulty level, and candidate performance. However, analyzing trends from previous years can provide a ballpark figure to aim for. Preparation should always target achieving scores well above past cut-offs to enhance the chance of selection.
What can I do if I miss the NDA cut-off mark?
If you miss the NDA cut-off mark, consider it an opportunity to better prepare for the next attempt. Analyze your performance to identify weak areas, focus on improving them, and maintain a consistent study schedule. Additionally, exploring other defense entry points, such as the Technical Entry Scheme (TES), Combined Defence Services (CDS) examination, or other armed forces entries might also be worthwhile.
Conclusion:
We congratulate all candidates who scored 180 and above in the JAMB examination and are interested in studying at the Nigerian Defence Academy Kaduna for the 2024/2025 academic session. While meeting the cut-off mark is an important step, there are other factors considered during the admission process.
