The Union Public Service Commission (UPSC) result for the National Defence Academy (NDA 1) for 2025 is expected to be announced in May on its official website. The NDA 1 exam was conducted on April 13, 2025, and consists of two papers: Mathematics (which was of 300 marks) and General Ability Test (total marks of 600).
Candidates who qualify for the written exam will be shortlisted for the next stage, which is the Services Selection Board (SSB) interview, which evaluates the intelligence, personality, and aptitude of the candidates. This interview is conducted in two different stages and carries a total of 900 marks. Candidates aspiring for the Air Force course must qualify for the Computerised Pilot Selection System (CPSS), and the final merit list will be prepared based on the combined scores of the written test and interview. There are 406 vacancies for the recruitment process in the Indian Army, Navy, Air Force, and Naval Academy. Candidates must download their results in a PDF format and search for their roll number or name. Since the NDA 1 exam is highly competitive therefore very few candidates clear the first stage.
