UPSC NDA 1 Result 2025 – Quick Guide and What to Expect

If you wrote the UPSC NDA exam this year, you’re probably waiting on the result like everyone else. The good news is that the result date is set, the process is simple, and you can act on it right away. Below we break down the exact date, where to look, and what to do after you see your score.

When and Where to Check the Result

The UPSC NDA 1 Result 2025 will be published on the official UPSC website (upsconline.nic.in) on Sunday, 2 June 2025. It will also appear on the National Testing Agency (NTA) portal because the written exam is conducted by NTA. All you need is your roll number, date of birth, and the registration number you received after paying the fee.

Log in to the portal, enter those three details, and click ‘View Result.’ The screen will show your total marks, sectional marks, and the qualifying status (Qualified/Not Qualified). You can also download the scorecard as a PDF for future reference.

What the Score Means and Next Steps

Scoring above the cutoff (usually around 60‑65%) means you’ve cleared the written stage and will be called for the SSB interview. If your score is below the cutoff, don’t panic. You can still improve for the next cycle by analyzing your weak areas – the scorecard lists marks for each section (Mathematics, General Ability, English).

For those who qualify, the next step is the Services Selection Board (SSB) interview. UPSC will send an email with dates, venues, and documents you must carry (photo ID, educational certificates, medical fitness form). The interview process lasts five days and tests personality, teamwork, and leadership.

Make a checklist now: gather your original certificates, get a recent passport‑size photo, and arrange any required medical tests. If you’re unsure about the SSB format, there are many free mock interview videos on YouTube that walk you through typical tasks like group discussions and progressive intelligence tests.

Finally, keep an eye on the official UPSC calendar for the exact SSB dates. They usually start a month after the result release, so you have a short window to prepare. Use that time wisely – practice logical reasoning, physical fitness, and interview etiquette.

In short, the UPSC NDA 1 Result 2025 will be out on 2 June 2025 on the UPSC portal. Check your score, download the PDF, and if you’re qualified, start your SSB prep right away. Good luck, and may your score open the door to a proud defense career!
