Re: Minimum marks required in NDA entrance exam. Should I clear mathematics and GAT sections of NDA exam separately? On which part should I focus between GAT and Mathematics? Which book is best for the preparation of Synonyms and Antonyms in English?

Selection in nda is based on merit list prepared by upsc.
According to me 600 above marks out of 900 makes you a good compititor
in nda exam.
You need to focus on each and every section of nda exam because
in nda exam pass or clear each section is compulsory.

Arihant objective english or descriptive english helps you a lot.

Hi Aspirant,

Friend there is no particular marks to qualify NDA exam.

You should get the marks more than cut off and cut off of NDA exam cet up and down every year.

So you should try to give your best performance in NDA exam.

Friend you have no need to separate qualifying marks in each section.

Your total marks should be more than cut off.


Syllabus of NDA exam

Friend you will have to focus on both section general Ability test and Mathematics.

Both part is necessary to crack the NDA exam.

So work hard to crack NDA exam because competition will be tough.

You should learn the tricky solution of math question and read English news paper for the GK and English.

Helpful books for NDA exam
