How to check the NDA 2 2026 result
Candidates looking for their results can visit the UPSC website, upsc.gov.in, and open the “NDA 2 Result 2026” link under the “What’s New” section. The commission has uploaded the result in PDF format, listing the roll numbers of qualified candidates. Applicants can use Ctrl+F to search for their roll number in the document and should download and save the file for future reference.
What qualified candidates must do next
Candidates who have cleared the written examination must register online on the Indian Army recruitment website, joinindianarmy.nic.in, within two weeks of the result announcement. This registration is required so that candidates can receive information about their Selection Centre and the SSB interview date through their registered email ID.
The UPSC has also reminded successful candidates to carry their original certificates related to age and educational qualifications to the SSB interview. These documents are not to be sent to UPSC; instead, they must be shown directly at the respective SSB centres.
Those who have already registered on the website earlier do not need to register again. For login or registration-related issues, candidates may contact the Indian Army at dir-recruiting6-mod@nic.in.
