UPSC ESE 2026 Mains Result Interview List

UPSC ESE 2026 Mains Result is out. The Union Public Service Commission declared the Engineering Services (Main) Examination, 2026 written result on 24.07.2026, a little over a month after the mains paper was held on 21 June 2026. A total of 1,340 candidates have cleared the written stage and now move to the Personality Test across Civil, Mechanical, Electrical, and Electronics & Telecommunication Engineering.

Both the “Roll Number Wise” and “Name Wise” PDFs are live on the official UPSC results page. This is a written-stage result, not the final ESE 2026 selection — the interview marks still get added before the commission publishes the final rank list later this year.

Engineering Services Main Exam result 2026 — roll wise vs name wise

UPSC publishes ESE results in two formats every year, and this one is no different. The Roll Number Wise list is faster to scan if you remember your roll number exactly; the Name Wise list helps when you’re checking on behalf of someone else or want to see how common your surname is in the qualified list. Both PDFs carry identical information — pick whichever is easier for you to search.

UPSC ESE 2026 personality test — what qualifying means

Clearing the mains written result only means your combined Paper I and Paper II marks crossed the cut off UPSC set for your discipline and category. It does not lock in a post. The Personality Test carries its own weightage in the final tally, and UPSC will separately notify interview schedules, likely through upsconline.nic.in where candidates already have login access from the application stage.

ESE 2026 interview candidates list — what to prepare next

Start pulling together your Detailed Application Form (DAF) supporting documents now rather than waiting for the interview call letter — degree certificates, category and PwBD certificates if applicable, and any achievements you listed. UPSC panels for ESE typically probe technical fundamentals from your core branch alongside general awareness and the reasoning behind your service preferences, so this is not purely a formality round.
