The Union Public Service Commission (UPSC) on Wednesday announced the release of admit cards for the NDA and Naval Academy (NA) Examination 2025, Phase II. All aspirants who successfully qualified in the written selection process can now access and print their hall tickets from the official portal at upsc.gov.in.
The NDA II exam is scheduled to be held on Saturday, May 31, 2025. The test will assess candidates across multiple papers covering Mathematics, General Ability Test, and the SSB interview proceedings that follow.
Candidates are advised to carry their printed admit card along with a valid photo identity proof to the examination centre. Failure to produce either document may result in denial of entry to the exam hall.
The examination schedule specifies that the written test papers will commence at 09:30 hours and continue through the afternoon session. Candidates should arrive at least one hour before the reporting time to complete the verification process.
This year's NDA recruitment drive saw over three lakh candidates register across India. Approximately 37,000 candidates were called for the written test after clearing the preliminary screening. The NDA entrance exam serves as the primary gateway for young men seeking commission in the Indian Army, Navy, and Air Force through the National Defence Academy training programme.
Successful candidates will undergo four years of rigorous academic and military training at the NDA in Khadakwasla, Pune, before being commissioned as officers in the respective services. The UPSC has also reminded candidates to verify all personal details printed on their admit cards carefully. Any discrepancies must be reported immediately to the commission helpline.
Physical efficiency tests and the Services Selection Board interview rounds will be conducted separately at designated centres across the country for shortlisted candidates. The final merit list will combine scores from both the written examination and the SSB evaluation.
