The Union Public Service Commission (UPSC) on October 1 has announced the results of the written part of the National Defence Academy and Naval Academy Examination (NDA and NA) II, 2025. Candidates can check their results at the official website of UPSC – upsc.gov.in. This recruitment drive seeks to fill 402 vacancies in the Indian Army, Navy and Air Force.
UPSC also stated that the marks of candidates, cut-off marks, and answer keys for NDA and NA (II) 2025 will be released on the Commission’s website — upsc.gov.in — after the final selection process is completed and results are declared.
The written exams for UPSC NDA and NA 2 were held on September 14. Candidates whose roll numbers appear in the list are eligible to appear for the Services Selection Board (SSB) interviews for admission to the Army, Navy, and Air Force wings of the NDA for the 156th course, and the 118th Indian Naval Academy Course (INAC), both commencing on July 2, 2026. The SSB interview evaluates candidates on leadership, decision-making, psychological fitness, and overall personality. Only those who clear all three stages — written test, interview, and medical examination — will be eligible for commissioning into the Indian Armed Forces.
UPSC has directed qualified candidates to register themselves online at the Indian Army Recruiting website — joinindianarmy.nic.in — within two weeks of the result announcement. The SSB interview dates and venues will be communicated to the registered candidates via email. Candidates already registered on the website need not register again, the Commission added.
