Indian Navy SSR Medical Assistant Cut Off: How Shortlisting Works

Students searching for the Indian Navy SSR Medical Assistant cut off usually want one number to aim for. The Indian Navy does not publish a single cut-off mark for SSR (Medical). Instead, it sets pass marks for each section and the aggregate, then shortlists and selects candidates state-wise against the vacancies allotted to each state.

This page explains how that process works for the SSR (Medical) 02/2027 batch, what the Navy does and does not release, why qualifying marks differ between states, and how to set a safe personal target. Any cut-off figures you see quoted elsewhere for this entry are unofficial estimates, not Navy data.

Does the Navy Publish an SSR Medical Assistant Cut Off?

Because no official figures exist, this page does not list previous cut-off marks. Treat any number quoted online as an estimate only.

How Shortlisting and Selection Work

1. Sectional and aggregate pass at INET: You must pass each of the four sections (English, Science, Biology, General Awareness) and the aggregate.

2. State-wise shortlisting for Stage II: Qualified candidates are shortlisted state by state on INET marks, according to the vacancies for each state.

3. Stage II filters: Shortlisted candidates must qualify the PFT and the recruitment medical.

4. State-wise select list: The provisional select list is prepared from the Stage II written exam, state-wise, subject to PFT and medical fitness.

5. Tie-break: Candidates with equal marks are ranked by date of birth, with the older candidate placed first.

If INET cannot be held, or for service reasons, the Navy may shortlist on Class 12 or Class 10 board marks instead. For the 02/2024 batch, shortlisting was done on 10+2 PCB marks, before INET was introduced as Stage I.

What Affects the Qualifying Mark

• Vacancies in your state: Positions are allotted state-wise, so a state with fewer seats and many applicants needs a higher score.

• Number of applicants from your state: More competition pushes the last qualifying score up.

• Paper difficulty: A tougher paper lowers scores across the board, and the qualifying score usually falls with it.

• Sectional pass marks: A strong total does not help if one section falls below its pass mark.

• Negative marking: Each wrong answer costs 0.25 marks, so accuracy shapes your final score as much as attempts do.

How to Set Your Target Score

Cut-offs change every cycle with difficulty, vacancies and the number of applicants. Without official figures, the safest approach is to aim for a clear margin in every section rather than a bare pass. The benchmarks below are practice targets for mock tests, not official cut-offs.
