The Union Public Service Commission (UPSC) will soon release the admit card for the National Defence Academy (NDA) and Naval Academy (NA) Examination (I) 2025 on its official website, upsc.gov.in.
Candidates registered for the exam, which is going to be held on April 21, 2025, will soon be able to download their admit cards.
This year, the exam will fill 406 vacancies through a two-stage process: a written exam followed by a Service Selection Board (SSB) interview.
A final merit list will be compiled based on the highest combined scores from both stages.

Key details to verify on the admit card
Once downloaded, candidates should carefully review the following information and report any errors to the commission:
- Candidate’s name and roll number
- Exam date, time, and venue
- Exam day guidelines
- Photograph and signature
Entry to the examination hall requires candidates to present their admit card along with a photo ID matching the number listed on the admit card for each session.
