UPSC NDA I 2026 Written Result — Overview
The Union Public Service Commission (UPSC) has declared the written result of the National Defence Academy and Naval Academy Examination (I), 2026. This exam is commonly called NDA I 2026. It was held on 12 April 2026 across the country. Candidates who cleared the written paper have now qualified for the next stage — the Services Selection Board (SSB) interview and personality test.
UPSC has published two separate written-result lists — one arranged by roll number and one arranged by name. You can download both lists from the download links on this page (our fast copy of the official UPSC documents). The written result only decides who moves to the SSB stage. The final selection depends on the SSB interview marks added to the written marks.
What "Written Result" Means Here
The written result is only the first filter. If your roll number appears in the list, it means you passed the written exam and are called for the SSB interview. It does not mean final selection. Your marks are not shown in this list — UPSC releases individual marks much later, after the whole process is over.
Vacancy Details
UPSC advertised a total of 394 posts under NDA I 2026 (Advertisement No. 03/2026). The seats are split across the three defence wings and the Naval Academy, as shown below.

Your individual marks are not part of this list. UPSC shares marks separately after the full selection process ends. For that, and for your SSB call letter, you will need to use the official UPSC login when it opens.
What Happens Next
Qualified candidates are called for the SSB interview conducted by the Services Selection Centres of the Army, Navy, or Air Force. The SSB is a five-day process that tests officer-like qualities, psychology, group tasks, and a personal interview. Candidates also go through a medical test. The final merit list is prepared later by adding the written marks and the SSB marks together. Keep an eye on the official UPSC website and your registered email for your SSB schedule.
