The Union Public Service Commission (UPSC) is all set to release the admit cards for two major recruitment examinations — the National Defence Academy (NDA) II and the Central Armed Police Forces (CAPF) Assistant Commandant exams for 2026. The hall tickets are expected to go live on the official UPSC website, upsc.gov.in, in the coming days.
The NDA II examination is one of the most competitive entry routes into the Indian Armed Forces, conducted twice a year. Candidates who have applied for this cycle will be able to download their admit cards using their registration details. The exam typically includes a written test followed by a service selection board interview conducted by the Services Selection Board (SSB). The written portion tests candidates in Mathematics and General Ability, assessing their readiness for military training and leadership roles.
Similarly, the CAPF Assistant Commandant examination is another highly sought-after recruitment drive under UPSC. This exam serves as the gateway for candidates aiming to join the central armed police forces such as the BSF, CISF, ITBP, CRPF, SSB, and ASAB. The selection process includes a written exam, an analytical and psychological testing phase, and a personal interview, followed by a medical examination.
UpSC candidates have been advised to keep a close watch on the official notification page for exact release dates and instructions. While no fixed date has been announced as of now, the commission traditionally releases admit cards a few weeks before the scheduled exam. Candidates are reminded to verify all details carefully, including their photograph, name, examination centre allocation, and reporting time, once the hall tickets become available.
Both examinations attract thousands of applicants across the country every year, making timely access to admit cards crucial for successful exam participation.
