The Union Public Service Commission will conduct the National Defence Academy and Naval Academy Examination (I) 2026 on April 12, 2026, at various centres across India. Candidates eligible for the exam must download their e-Admit card from the official UPSC website, as no physical admit cards will be issued for this session.

Candidates are required to print and retain the e-Admit card until the final results are announced. Entry to the examination hall will only be allowed upon presenting the printed e-Admit card along with a valid photo ID listed on the admit card.

Admit Card Verification Instructions

If a candidate’s photograph on the e-Admit card is missing, unclear, or does not include the name and date, they must bring a valid photo ID along with two passport-size photographs containing their name and date—one for each session. Any discrepancies must be reported immediately to UPSC at usnda-upsc@nic.in.
