UPSC NDA / NA-I Examination 2026 Final Result Released

The Union Public Service Commission has released the final result for the UPSC NDA / NA-I Examination 2026. The recruitment covers Army, Navy, Airforce and Naval Academy entries, with separate vacancy allocations and entry requirements.

This release marks a later result milestone than the result published in May, so candidates should distinguish the final-result document from the earlier result lists. The examination’s selection framework includes a written exam, interview, medical examination and physical examination, making the final result the key document to consult at this stage.

UPSC NDA / NA-I 2026: Final Result and Recruitment Analysis

The recruitment comprises 394 posts across four entry categories. Candidates need to read the result alongside the relevant entry category because the vacancy distribution does not represent a single interchangeable pool.

The sections below separate result access, the examination timeline, vacancy allocation and entry conditions so that each part of the recruitment remains clear.

How to Check the Final Result PDF

The final result is available in PDF format through the Union Public Service Commission website. Separate earlier result documents are also available in name-wise and roll-list formats, so choosing the correct document matters when checking the outcome.

For the current result stage, use the final-result document rather than treating an earlier result list as the final outcome.

1. Visit the official website of the Union Public Service Commission.
2. Open the “Result” section or “Latest Updates / Notifications”.
3. Locate the “Result 2026” link for the UPSC NDA / NA-I Examination and select the final-result document.
4. Open the PDF, download it and check your result.

Application, Examination and Result Timeline

The application submission deadline and fee-payment deadline fell on the same day, so registration did not have a separate later payment deadline. The examination, answer key, initial result and final result then formed distinct milestones across the 2026 cycle.

For candidates reviewing their examination records, these dates help distinguish the application period from the subsequent assessment and result stages.

The admit card is also listed as available, although no availability date is specified.

Vacancy Distribution Across the Four Entries

Army accounts for the largest allocation, followed by Airforce, Navy and Naval Academy. This distribution shows the relative size of each entry, but vacancy numbers alone do not establish a candidate’s eligibility or selection outcome.

The Naval Academy allocation carries the specific description “Male” and “10+2 Cadet Entry”, which should remain distinct from the other entries.

Educational Requirements and Entry Descriptions

The stated educational requirements differ between Army and Navy, particularly in the treatment of Class 12 subjects. Army eligibility requires a recognized-board Class 12 qualification, while Navy eligibility specifically includes Physics and Mathematics.

The Airforce eligibility entry gives only the description “10+2 Cadet Entry”; it does not provide a separate detailed subject requirement.

• Army: Candidates must have passed Class 12, also described as Intermediate, from a recognized board.
• Navy: Candidates must have passed 10+2, or Class 12, with Physics and Mathematics as subjects from a recognized board.
• Airforce: The entry is described as 10+2 Cadet Entry.

Selection Framework and the Meaning of Separate Stages

The selection framework extends beyond the written examination and includes interview, medical and physical assessment components. These are distinct parts of the recruitment, so the written examination should not be read as the entire selection process.

No stage-wise marks, qualifying thresholds or detailed assessment rules are specified here, so the listed components should not be expanded into an assumed scoring formula.

• Written Exam
• Interview
• Medical Examination
• Physical Examination

Application Fee Structure for This Cycle

The application fee depended on the applicant category rather than the selected entry. General and OBC applicants had a payable fee, while SC/ST applicants and all female applicants had a zero-fee provision.

These amounts relate to the application stage of this recruitment cycle, not to accessing the result PDF.
