UPSC NDA 2 Result 2025: If you sat for the NDA & NA (II) 2025 written exam on 14 September 2025, the official written-result PDF from UPSC is widely expected in the last week of September 2025, with many reputable exam portals suggesting a likely date around 29 September 2025. Keep in mind UPSC’s announced schedule and multiple major education outlets point to this timeframe. However, the final and authoritative declaration will come only from the UPSC website (upsc.gov.in).
UPSC NDA 2 Result 2025: Expected Release Date
UPSC normally publishes written exam results in a window of two to four weeks after the examination depending on verification and processing time. For NDA/NA II 2025 the exam date (14 Sep 2025) and UPSC’s examination calendar/notifications make the end-of-September window consistent with past patterns and current reporting from major education news sites. That pattern is useful when planning the next steps (SSB scheduling, document preparation, etc.).
Where UPSC Publishes the Result?
When UPSC declares the NDA/NA (II) written result it will publish a PDF (roll number list) on the official UPSC site under the “Examinations → Written Results” section. The UPSC page for NDA/NA examinations is the canonical source for the roll-list PDF, press notes and later the schedule for SSB interviews and final merit lists. Bookmark or frequently check www.upsc.gov.in for the official PDF link, other news sites will link back to UPSC’s release.
UPSC NDA 2 Result 2025: How To Download?
1. Open your web browser and enter the URL www.upsc.gov.in.
2. On the homepage, click the “Examinations” tab and then select “Written Results” (or you can locate the “Notice/Result” section).
3. Locate the link with the title “National Defence Academy & Naval Academy Examination (II), 2025 Written Result (or Roll List)” and follow the PDF link.
4. The PDF should be downloaded and opened with a PDF reader. To locate your roll number, use Ctrl+F (or the find tool). When your roll number is found in the PDF, it means that you have been selected for the next stage (SSB).
5. In case you don’t find your roll number, don’t get upset, marks will also be released by UPSC later and there are the cut-offs by service and category.
If your roll number appears in the roll-list PDF, the next step is the SSB (Services Selection Board) interview. SSBs are conducted by the respective Service Headquarters (Army, Navy, Air Force) and involve two stages: psychological and personal interviews, group tasks, and tests across multiple days.
After SSB and medical reviews, UPSC/Service boards prepare a final merit list combining written and SSB performance as per the rules. Shortlisted candidates should closely follow official instructions on document verification, registration for SSB (if required), and medical standards.
Expected Cut-offs and Score Insights
Cut-offs for NDA papers vary by year, vacancy and category. Historically the NDA written cut-offs are influenced heavily by the General Ability Test (GAT) performance and the vacancy count for each service. Early estimates from coaching and exam-analysis portals expect the 2025 written cut-offs to be broadly in line with recent years. But keep in mind real cut-offs will depend on this year’s overall performance and number of vacancies declared for 2025.

Tips if UPSC PDF is Slow or Pages Crash?
On result day UPSC servers often face heavy traffic. If the official PDF link is slow to load:
- Try refreshing the UPSC page after 2–3 minutes, or use a different browser/device.
- Use the PDF download (right-click → save link) rather than viewing in the browser to reduce load.
- Follow official UPSC social handles or high-traffic portals which usually repost the UPSC link; but always verify that the PDF is from upsc.gov.in before acting.
- Keep your roll number and DOB handy to search the PDF quickly.
Media outlets and coaching portals can provide strong signals about when UPSC might upload the NDA 2 result, but the only authoritative source is UPSC’s official website. Bookmark the UPSC results page, avoid relying solely on social-media screenshots, and keep a checklist ready (roll number, DOB, documents). If the news outlets’ “expected dates” turn out to be accurate, you’ll be well prepared to download, verify, and take the next steps quickly. L
