Every NDA aspirant asks: “Is 400 a Safe Score in NDA?” The answer is — yes, 400 is a safe score for the written exam, but it is only the first step. NDA selection depends on three stages: Written Exam, SSB Interview, and Medicals. At Convex Defence Academy Jaipur, we help students not only cross the written cut‑off but also excel in the SSB stage to secure final selection.
