Cut-off Marks — NDA II 2026

UPSC publishes the final cut-off marks alongside or shortly after the final result PDF. The cut-off for NDA is determined separately for each service (Army, Navy, Air Force, and Naval Academy) based on the number of vacancies and aggregate performance of recommended candidates. Written examination marks and SSB scores together constitute the final merit, with the written component carrying significantly higher weight.

Stage / Component	Maximum Marks	Cut-off (NDA II 2026)
Mathematics (Written)	300	To Be Notified
General Ability Test (Written)	600	To Be Notified
Written Total	900	To Be Notified
SSB Interview	900	To Be Notified
Grand Total (Written + SSB)	1800	To Be Notified
Final Cut-off (All Services Combined)	1800	To Be Notified (Official PDF)

The cut-off marks for the Army wing are typically the lowest among the three services, while the Air Force tends to have the highest aggregate cut-off owing to fewer vacancies and stronger competition. Candidates are advised to check the official final result PDF on upsc.gov.in for service-wise cut-off figures once published.

Frequently Asked Questions

Where can I download the UPSC NDA II Final Result 2026 with marks?

The final result PDF is available on the official UPSC website at upsc.gov.in under the Written Results or Examinations section. The direct download link is also provided in the Important Links table above. The document lists roll numbers of all recommended candidates along with their written examination and SSB marks.

What does the “Final Result with Marks” mean for NDA — is this different from the written result?

Yes, the final result is significantly different from the written result. The written result only lists candidates shortlisted for the SSB interview stage. The final result, on the other hand, is declared after all three stages — written examination, SSB interview, and medical examination — are complete, and it lists only those candidates who have been formally recommended by UPSC for admission to the National Defence Academy or Naval Academy.

My name is not in the UPSC NDA II 2026 final result — can I get my marks?

Candidates not recommended in the final result are entitled to view their individual marks through the UPSC website. The commission opens a marks disclosure window, typically for 30 days after the final result, during which eligible candidates can log in to the UPSC portal and check their written and SSB scores. The exact dates for this window are announced on upsc.gov.in.

What is the cut-off marks for UPSC NDA II 2026?

The official cut-off marks for the written stage and the final aggregate are published alongside the final result PDF or in a separate notice on the UPSC website. The cut-off differs by service — Army, Navy, Air Force, and Naval Academy — based on vacancies and candidate performance. Refer to the Cut-off Marks table in this post; it will be updated as soon as official figures are released.

When will recommended NDA II 2026 candidates receive their joining instructions?

Joining instructions are not issued by UPSC — they are sent by the respective Service Headquarters (Army, Navy, or Air Force) to each recommended candidate individually, typically within a few weeks of the final result. The instructions arrive either by post to the registered address or through the UPSC OTR candidate portal. Ensure your address and contact details are up to date on the OTR portal.

Can I apply for a re-medical or appeal if I was declared medically unfit during the NDA SSB process?

Candidates declared unfit during the medical examination conducted post-SSB are eligible to appeal for a Review Medical Examination before the respective Service’s Review Medical Board. The process and timeline for this review are communicated in the medical fitness rejection letter. Candidates should pursue the appeal within the stipulated time frame — delayed appeals are generally not entertained.

Is there any age relaxation or second attempt for NDA candidates not qualifying this cycle?

NDA eligibility allows male candidates (and female candidates for select categories, as per latest UPSC notifications) between 16.5 and 19.5 years of age at the time of the examination. Those within the eligible age bracket at the time of the next NDA notification may apply again. There is no age relaxation beyond the prescribed limits even for reserved category applicants, unlike many other UPSC examinations.
