The admit card for the NDA & NA (I) Examination 2026 has been released by the Union Public Service Commission (UPSC). 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.
To ensure smooth entry, candidates must arrive 30 minutes before the scheduled commencement of each session. Entry to the examination centre will close 30 minutes prior to the start time, emphasizing the need for punctuality.
Strict regulations are in place for what candidates can bring into the examination hall. Bags, mobile phones, smart or digital watches, electronic devices, books, and other restricted items are not allowed. Candidates must also present a valid photo ID and two passport-size photographs if there are any discrepancies with their e-Admit card.
The examination is set to take place on April 12, 2026. Candidates must produce the printed e-Admit card along with a valid photo identity card to gain entry to the venue. It is crucial that candidates print and preserve their e-Admit card until the final results are declared.
For those whose photograph on the e-Admit card is unclear, bringing a valid photo ID and two passport-size photographs is mandatory. This ensures that all candidates can be properly identified during the examination.
Additionally, candidates will have the opportunity to submit representations on the question paper online via the UPSC QPRep portal from April 13 to April 19, 2026. This allows for feedback and ensures the integrity of the examination process.
Details remain unconfirmed regarding any further updates or changes to the examination process as the date approaches. Candidates are advised to stay informed through the official UPSC channels.
