NDA is the National Defense Academy. Entrance exam for this is conducted by the UPSC twice every year and is called NDA I and NDA II.

The qualifying marks in the written test consisting of both papers that is Mathematics and General ability test is different for different years, it is not fixed. For every exam, the cut off marks is changed.

This is the cut off marks for last few years depending upon which you can judge whether you will be eligible to clear the cut off marks of NDA written test.

For NDA I 2014 exam, the cut off marks was 360 out of 900 marks with minimum of 35% marks in each subject.

For NDA I 2013 exam, the cut off marks for written test was 333 out of 900 with minimum of 33% marks in each subject.

For more previous year cut off marks, you can visit http://www.upsc.gov.in/exams/cut-off%20marks/index.htm.

So, on on average the cut off marks is between 300 -400 for qualifying the written test. Hence if you are getting 505 marks in NDA written test, then most probably you will qualify for the Service Selection Board.
