Quick Answer
UPSC declared the NDA 1 2026 results on 8 May 2026 for the written exam it held on 12 April 2026. For NDA 2 2026, UPSC will likely announce results in October 2026 — roughly 4–6 weeks after the 13 September 2026 written exam. Once UPSC uploads the roll-number PDF at upsc.gov.in, qualified Patna candidates move to the SSB Interview stage. Meanwhile, Sukhoi Academy’s NDA coaching in Patna updates its selection list and topper board within 48 hours of the official announcement.
This guide walks Patna parents and aspirants through both NDA 2026 cycles: what UPSC has already announced, what’s still pending, how to read the cut-off, and how to check your own result the moment it drops.
NDA 2026 Exam Cycle: Where Things Stand?
2026 has two NDA attempts, and Patna candidates are tracking both:
| Cycle | Written Exam | Result Status | Vacancies |
| NDA 1 2026 | 12 April 2026 | Declared — 8 May 2026 | 394 (all-India) |
| NDA 2 2026 | 13 September 2026 | Expected October 2026 | 394 (370 male, 24 female) |
For students preparing through NDA coaching in Patna, UPSC released the NDA 2 2026 notification on 20 May 2026, closed applications on 9 June 2026, and issued admit cards on 6 September 2026 — a week ahead of the exam.
NDA 1 2026 Result Recap: What Patna Candidates Already Know?
UPSC declared the NDA 1 2026 written result 26 days after the exam — well within its usual 15–26 day window. That result listed only qualifying roll numbers, not marks; UPSC releases individual scorecards later, after the final merit list.
- Expected written cut-off: roughly 350–365 out of 900 marks (most experts consider a score above 400 safe).
- UPSC typically shortlists around 6,000–7,500 candidates nationally for the SSB Interview from the written result.
- Only 394 candidates — the total NDA 1 2026 vacancies — will make the final merit list after SSB and medical rounds.
- Expected final cut-off (written + SSB combined): approximately 700–720 out of 1800 marks.
However, Bihar aspirants preparing through defence coaching institute in Patna programmes should treat these as planning benchmarks, not official figures — UPSC publishes the confirmed cut-off only alongside the final result.
NDA 2 2026: What Happens Next?
With the written exam now behind them, NDA 2 2026 candidates enter the waiting period. Based on UPSC’s declared pattern, here is the realistic results timeline for this cycle of NDA coaching in Patna aspirants:
- Result window: UPSC typically declares the NDA 2 written result 4–6 weeks after the exam date, placing the NDA 2 2026 result in October 2026.
- Format: UPSC publishes a roll-number PDF on upsc.gov.in and shows no marks at this stage.
- Next step for qualifiers: candidates register online on the Indian Army recruiting website within two weeks, then receive their SSB call-up letters.
- SSB window: shortlisted candidates typically attend interviews over the following months; afterward, UPSC releases the final combined merit list (written + SSB, out of 1800).
How to Check Your NDA 2 2026 Result?
- First, visit the official UPSC website at upsc.gov.in.
- Next, open the “Examinations” or “Written Results” section on the homepage.
- Then, click the NDA & NA Examination (II), 2026 result link once it is live.
- After that, download the PDF and use Ctrl+F to search your roll number.
- Finally, save or print the result page — it doubles as proof of qualification for SSB registration.
Sukhoi Academy’s NDA coaching in Patna sends result-day alerts to enrolled batches so students don’t have to keep refreshing the UPSC site manually.
Selection List: How Names Move From Written Result to Final List
A common point of confusion among Patna families is the difference between the written result, the SSB-shortlist, and the final selection list. In fact, they are three separate stages:
| Stage | What It Shows | Who Advances |
| Written Result | Qualifying roll numbers only | All candidates who clear both sectional and aggregate written cut-offs |
| SSB Shortlist / Call-up | Candidates called for the 5-day SSB process | Written-qualified candidates, service/academy-wise |
| Final Selection List | Merit list out of 1800 marks (written + SSB) | Candidates ranked within the total vacancy count, subject to medical fitness |
In short, only the final selection list results in an actual NDA admission offer — the written result and SSB shortlist are intermediate checkpoints, not confirmation of a seat.
