Hi

Yes, there's sectional cut off in NDA.

You need at least 25 % in each paper.

i. e You need at least

  • 25 % in maths i. e 25 % of 300 = 75 marks
  • 25 % in GAT i. e 25 % of 600 = 125 marks

Within GAT, there's no sectional cut off means there's minimum cut off separately in English, you need at least 25 % in GAT overall.
