UPSC NDA 2 Result 2026: Expected Date, How to Check Your Roll Number and Prepare for SSB

Lakhs await the UPSC NDA 2 written result, expected by September 30, 2026. UPSC usually releases a PDF roll-number list first on its website. Services Selection Board call-ups follow from the respective service headquarters portals. Keep admit card, identification, and academic proofs handy for quick verification.

Today, September 27, our result watch focuses on format, timing, and next steps. Expect the roll-list first; a separate name list can follow soon after. Cut-off and individual marks appear only post final merit list. Track updates only on upsc.gov.in and service portals to avoid misinformation.

How to check UPSC NDA 2 result PDF safely

Visit upsc.gov.in, open What’s New or Written Results, and find NDA 2. Download the PDF, then search your roll number using Ctrl plus F. Cross-check digits with your admit card. Save the file offline, and note the date-stamp for records. Avoid third-party mirrors or forwarded links.

What happens after the roll-number list: SSB interview timeline

After selection in the roll-list, service headquarters issue SSB call-ups. Reporting typically begins within two to six weeks. Army centres include Prayagraj, Bhopal, and Bengaluru. Air Force boards operate at Dehradun, Mysuru, Gandhinagar, Varanasi, and Guwahati. First-time reporting may receive fare reimbursement, as per prevailing rules.

SSB stages, documents, and medical advisory for NDA 2

Stage I screens using Officer Intelligence and picture perception tests. Stage II spans psychology tests, interview, and conference over multiple days. Carry originals of Class 10 and 12 certificates, photo identity, passport photos, and NCC documents. For medicals, carry eyeglass prescription, dental records, and personal medicines. Avoid temporary tattoos and recent piercings.

Cut-off, marksheet and name list: where and when to expect

Do not chase speculative cut-offs. UPSC generally releases cut-offs and individual marks only after final recommendations. A brief name list may follow the roll-list on the commission’s portal. Marksheet download opens later, for a limited window. Save PDFs immediately and archive emails from service boards for scheduling reference.

Intake breakup and service preference: what candidates should note

Vacancies are split across Army, Navy, Air Force, and the Naval Academy. Refer to the NDA 2 notification for sanctioned numbers. Final allocation considers written and SSB merit, medical fitness, preferences, and available vacancies. Keep branch preferences realistic, and study medical standards, especially for flying and submarine arms.
