Hello Dharmendra!

See If you are writing NDA exam after 12th, there is no minimum cut off marks required in 12th but you should clear your 12th exam. If you clear your NDA written test, SSB interview and Medical, but still you did not clear your 10+2 exams, you won’t be able to join the National Defence Academy.

Hope it helps!.

Thank You :)

Hi aspirant,

The minimum requirement in class XII for NDA is to complete class XII science with atleast 60 percent marks. Since your percentage is below 60 percent, you are not eligible to appear for NDA.

Hope this helps. All the best!
