NDA-2 2023 is scheduled to take place on 3rd September 2023. As you must be aware of the two-stage selection process of the NDA. In the first stage a written exam is conducted that comprises two papers- one is a mathematics paper and the other is GAT ( General Aptitude Test). In the second stage, five days of SSB Interview is conducted. After this process, a final merit list is prepared that decides your admission to National Defence Academy, Khadakwasla. But this selection process is not so simple. There are three types of cut-offs i.e. sectional cut-off, written cut-off, and final cut-off. These three cut-offs decide whether you will be joining the National Defence Academy or not. In this article, we are going to tell you everything about the NDA written exam merit list.
