Overview
- The Union Public Service Commission formally extended online registration for NDA & NA (II) and CDS (II) to 6:00 PM on June 11, 2026, giving candidates additional time to submit applications.
- Candidates who have appeared in Class 12 for the 2025–26 session but do not yet have certificates may apply by selecting the 'appearing/appeared' option in the Common Application Form.
- The NDA & NA (II) written examination remains scheduled for September 13, 2026, and the exercise will fill 394 NDA/NA vacancies followed by SSB interviews, medicals and document verification.
- General/OBC/EWS male applicants must pay Rs 100 while women and SC/ST candidates are exempt; applicants must upload a scanned passport photo and signature and may pay by NetBanking, UPI, debit or credit card, and UPSC has published helpline numbers and an email for support.
- UPSC is expected to open a post‑submission correction window after registration closes, and the extension could increase late filings and demand on the helpdesk and application portal as candidates complete documentation.
