The Union Public Service Commission (UPSC) has officially released the NDA & NA (I) Examination 2026 admit card. Candidates can now download their e-Admit cards from the official UPSC portal, with the examination scheduled for April 12, 2026.
It is crucial for candidates to note that no paper admit cards will be issued for this session. Instead, all candidates must produce a printed version of their e-Admit card along with a valid photo identity card to gain entry into the examination venue.
Candidates are advised to arrive at the examination center at least 30 minutes before the scheduled commencement of each session. Entry will close precisely 30 minutes before the start time, emphasizing the importance of punctuality.
Additionally, strict regulations are in place regarding personal items. Candidates are prohibited from bringing bags, mobile phones, smart or digital watches, electronic devices, books, or any other restricted items into the examination hall.
In cases where there are discrepancies on the e-Admit card, candidates must bring a valid photo ID and two passport-size photographs. This requirement is particularly important for those whose photographs on the e-Admit card are unclear.
Once the examination concludes, candidates will have the opportunity to submit representations regarding the question paper online via the UPSC QPRep portal from April 13 to April 19, 2026.
The e-Admit card must be preserved until the final results are declared, ensuring that candidates have all necessary documentation for verification purposes.
As the examination date approaches, candidates are urged to double-check their e-Admit card for accuracy and to familiarize themselves with the examination guidelines. Details remain unconfirmed regarding any last-minute changes to the examination format or procedures.
