UPSC NDA and NA 1 Final Result 2026 Announced

The Union Public Service Commission (UPSC) has officially announced the final results for the National Defence Academy and Naval Academy Examination (I), 2026. A comprehensive merit list comprising 617 recommended candidates has been prepared following the written exam conducted on 12 April 2026 and subsequent interview rounds held by the Services Selection Board (SSB) under the Ministry of Defence.

Selected candidates qualify for admission to the Army, Navy, and Air Force wings of the National Defence Academy for the 157th Course and the Naval Academy for the 119th Indian Naval Academy Course (INAC). Results of the medical examinations have not been incorporated into the merit compilation, meaning final training intake remains subject to official medical fitness clearance from the armed forces medical boards.
