The Union Public Service Commission (UPSC) has officially released the admit card for the NDA & NA (I) Examination 2026, scheduled for April 12, 2026. Candidates are required to download their e-Admit card from the official UPSC portal, as no paper admit cards will be issued for this session.
It is crucial for candidates to arrive at the examination center at least 30 minutes before the scheduled commencement of each session. Entry to the examination venue will close 30 minutes prior to the start time, emphasizing the importance of punctuality.
In line with examination protocols, candidates are prohibited from carrying bags, mobile phones, smart or digital watches, electronic devices, books, or any other restricted items into the examination hall. This measure aims to maintain the integrity of the examination process.
To ensure a smooth entry, candidates must produce the printed e-Admit card along with a valid photo identity card. Additionally, those whose photograph on the e-Admit card is unclear are advised to bring two passport-size photographs to avoid any discrepancies.
It is important for candidates to preserve their e-Admit card until the declaration of the final results, as it may be required for verification purposes. Furthermore, representations regarding the question paper can be submitted online via the UPSC QPRep portal from April 13 to April 19, 2026.
As the examination date approaches, candidates are encouraged to familiarize themselves with the rules and regulations to ensure compliance and avoid any last-minute issues. The release of the NDA admit card marks a significant step in the preparation for this highly competitive examination.
Details remain unconfirmed regarding any additional instructions or changes that may arise as the examination date nears. Candidates are advised to stay updated through the official UPSC website for the latest information.
