UPSC NDA 2 result 2026 is out. The written result of the NDA and NA (II) exam held on 13.09.2026 carries a press note dated 09.10.2026, and it calls 7,886 candidates to the SSB interview: 7,406 men and 480 women. UPSC prints no total, so we counted the PDFs ourselves.
UPSC NDA 2 result 2026 is declared. Open the roll-wise or name-wise PDF on upsc.gov.in and search your seven-digit roll number. If it is there, register on joinindianarmy.nic.in by about 23.10.2026. The SSB date comes by email only after that.
NDA 2 result 2026 in numbers
| Result figure | What the PDFs show |
|---|---|
| Total qualified | 7,886 candidates qualified for the SSB interview. |
| Men qualified | 7,406 men are listed in the male section. |
| Women qualified | 480 women are listed separately after the men. |
| Written exam date | The written exam was held on 13.09.2026. |
| Courses on offer | 158th NDA course and 120th INA course, from 01.07.2027. |
| Notified seats | 394 seats in all, 370 for men and 24 for women. |
Note: We counted both PDFs and got the same 7,886 roll numbers each time. The roll-wise file is dated 09.10.2026 and the name-wise file went up on 13.10.2026. Divide each list by its seats and you get 20 men per seat and 20 women per seat. The ratio is the same for both because UPSC prepares the men’s and women’s lists separately against their own seats.

Note: We opened all three UPSC files on 14.10.2026. Use the www form of the UPSC address, because the bare domain sometimes lands on the homepage instead of the file.
How to check the result
- Open the roll-wise PDF from the table above. It is smaller and faster on a phone.
- Search your full seven-digit roll number with Ctrl+F, or Find in page on a phone.
- Women should scroll past the male section, because the female list starts after it at serial 1 again.
- If you lost your roll number, open the name-wise PDF and search your name as written in the form.
If your roll number is not found
Check the name-wise file once before giving up, since a mistyped digit is the usual cause of a blank search. If you are in neither file, you did not reach the written cut off for this cycle. UPSC will publish marks and cut offs only after the final result, and they stay online for 30 days, so note the date when they appear.
Seats behind the list, service by service
| Wing | Men | Women | Total |
|---|---|---|---|
| NDA Army | 198 | 10 | 208 |
| NDA Navy | 37 | 5 | 42 |
| Air Force Flying | 90 | 2 | 92 |
| Air Force Ground Duties (Tech) | 16 | 2 | 18 |
| Air Force Ground Duties (Non-Tech) | 8 | 2 | 10 |
| Naval Academy (10+2 Cadet Entry) | 21 | 3 | 24 |
| All wings | 370 | 24 | 394 |
Note: These are the approximate seats printed in the notification of 20.05.2026, and UPSC says they can change with training capacity. Look at Air Force Flying if you are a woman. It has 92 seats, and only 2 of them are for women.
SSB registration and the next stage
| Next step | What the press note and notification say |
|---|---|
| Registration deadline | Register on joinindianarmy.nic.in within two weeks of the written result. |
| Already registered | Candidates registered there earlier need not register again. |
| SSB date and centre | Allotted after registration and sent to your registered email. |
| SSB stage I | Officer Intelligence Rating tests and a picture perception test, on day one. |
| SSB stage II | Interview, group tasks, psychology tests and conference over four days. |
| Marks weight | Written exam 900 marks (Maths 300, GAT 600) and SSB 900 marks. |
| Original certificates | Carry age and education originals to the SSB, never post them to UPSC. |
Note: UPSC gives no calendar date for registration. Two weeks from the press note of 09.10.2026 is 23.10.2026, and that is our arithmetic. Register well before it, because the SSB email only follows registration. Login trouble goes to dir-recruiting6-mod@nic.in. Navy-first candidates can also use 011-23010097, and Air Force-first candidates 011-23010231.
NDA 2 and NDA 1 2026 qualified lists compared
| Comparison point | NDA I 2026 and NDA II 2026 |
|---|---|
| Qualified total | 7,879 in NDA I against 7,886 in NDA II, a gap of just 7. |
| Women qualified | 480 women in both cycles, the same number exactly. |
| Men qualified | 7,399 men in NDA I and 7,406 in NDA II. |
| Written exam | 12.04.2026 for NDA I and 13.09.2026 for NDA II. |
| Course start | 01.01.2027 for NDA I and 01.07.2027 for NDA II. |
Note: Both counts are ours, taken from the official PDFs of each cycle. Our reading is that UPSC sizes the list to the seats, at about 20 names per seat. If that holds, the cut off is what moves between cycles, while the number called to the SSB hardly changes.
