Overview
- UPSC has released the NDA and Naval Academy (I) 2026 e‑admit cards, which candidates must download from upsc.gov.in or upsconline.nic.in.
- A printed hall ticket and the same photo ID listed on it are mandatory for entry, with no paper admit cards issued at any stage.
- The pen‑and‑paper test runs in two sessions on April 12, with Mathematics from 10:00 to 12:30 and the General Ability Test from 14:00 to 16:30, and gates closing 30 minutes before each.
- Centres allow only the admit card, a black ballpoint pen, a pencil, valid ID and photographs, while phones, smartwatches, bags and books are banned with no storage provided.
- UPSC will accept question‑paper representations only through its QPRep portal from April 13 to 19 until 6 pm, and late or offline submissions will be rejected.
