The Union Public Service Commission (UPSC) is anticipated to release the results for the National Defence Academy (NDA) and Naval Academy (NA) Examination (I), 2025, in the coming days. The examination was conducted on April 13, 2025, to fill 406 vacancies across the Indian Army, Navy, Air Force, and Naval Academy, including reserved seats for female candidates.
The NDA & NA (I) 2025 examination comprised two objective-type papers: Mathematics and General Ability Test (GAT), each lasting 2 hours and 30 minutes. The papers were available in both Hindi and English to accommodate a diverse range of candidates.
Based on previous trends, UPSC typically announces NDA results within 15 to 20 days post-examination. Therefore, candidates can expect the NDA & NA (I) 2025 results to be declared by the end of April 2025.
