NDA and NA Examination (II) 2026 Written Result Released on 9 October 2026: How to Check and What Qualified Candidates Do Next

The Union Public Service Commission (UPSC) released the written result of the National Defence Academy and Naval Academy Examination (II), 2026 in a press note dated 9 October 2026. Candidates whose roll numbers appear in the list have qualified for the Services Selection Board (SSB) interview of the Ministry of Defence. As of 12 October 2026, the written stage is complete. The SSB interview and the final result are later stages, and the supplied evidence gives no dates for either.

How to check the written result

Where the result is published

The result is a roll-number list inside a PDF press note. UPSC lists it on its Written Results page with an upload date of 9 October 2026. The notice also says the result is available on the Commission's website, www.upsc.gov.in. The Important Links section on this page points to the official PDF.

What to look for

• Find your roll number in the list. The portion of the PDF reviewed for this article was a long list of roll numbers under a MALE CANDIDATES heading and was cut off before the end of the document. Check the full official PDF for the complete list, including any other category headings.
• The list shows roll numbers only. It does not show marks or cut-off marks.

What qualified candidates are asked to do

Register on the Indian Army recruiting website

The notice asks candidates to register online on joinindianarmy.nic.in within two weeks of the announcement of the written result. Successful candidates are then allotted Selection Centres and SSB interview dates, which are communicated on the registered e-mail ID. A candidate who has already registered on the site earlier does not need to register again. For queries or login problems, the notice gives dir-recruiting6-mod@nic.in as the e-mail address.

Keep original certificates for the SSB

Candidates should submit original certificates of age and educational qualification to the respective SSB during the interview. The notice says not to send original certificates to UPSC.

Candidature remains provisional

The notice states that the candidature of everyone on the list is provisional, in line with the conditions of admission to the examination. Appearing on the list is therefore not a final selection.
