What should you do after qualifying for the NDA 2 written exam?

Finding your roll number in the result PDF means you have qualified for the next stage. However, you must complete the required registration and attend the SSB interview before final selection.

Here is what you need to do next:

• Register for the SSB interview: Visit joinindianarmy.nic.in and complete the online registration within two weeks of the written result announcement.
• Check your registered email: Your selection centre and SSB interview date will be communicated to you through your registered email address.
• Prepare your documents: Keep your original age and educational qualification certificates ready for the SSB interview.
• Follow official instructions: Read the registration guidelines carefully and check for updates about your allotted selection centre.

If you have already registered on the Indian Army recruitment website, you do not need to register again, according to the official notice.

When will the UPSC NDA 2 marks and cutoff be released?

The written result PDF tells you whether you have qualified for the next stage. It does not provide your final marks or confirm your overall selection.

UPSC has stated that the marks and cutoff for the NDA and NA Examination II 2026 will be uploaded after the entire selection process is complete, including the declaration of the final result. The marks will remain available on the official website for 30 days.

You should therefore check the UPSC website for the final marks and cutoff announcement rather than relying on unofficial estimates.

What documents should you carry for the SSB interview?

You should prepare the documents required to verify your age and educational qualifications before attending the interview.

Keep these points in mind:

• Carry your original age certificate.
• Carry your original educational qualification certificates.
• Follow the instructions issued for your allotted SSB centre.
• Do not send your original certificates to UPSC.
• Check your email for the interview schedule and further instructions.

If you have questions about the result or interview process, UPSC's facilitation counter can provide examination-related information on working days. You can also refer to the official notice for the relevant contact details.
