UPSC NDA CDS Admit Card 2026: The Union Public Service Commission (UPSC) has released the admit cards for the NDA 1 and CDS 1 examinations 2026 on its official website, upsc.gov.in. Both examinations are scheduled to be conducted on April 12, 2026, at various examination centers across the country.
Candidates appearing for these examinations can download their admit cards online using their login credentials. The Commission has clarified that the admit cards will be available exclusively online.
To download the NDA-1 admit card, candidates must visit the UPSC website and click on the 'e-Admit Card' link. Subsequently, they are required to carefully read the instructions, provide their consent, and then enter their Registration Number (or Roll Number) and Date of Birth. Upon submitting this information, the admit card will appear on the screen; candidates must download and print a copy of it.
**Details Included in the Admit Card**
The admit card contains crucial information such as the candidate's name, date of birth, roll number, category, parents' names, photograph, signature, examination date, reporting time, and the address of the examination center. Candidates are advised to carefully verify all the details and immediately notify the Commission in the event of any discrepancy.
**Mandatory Documents for Examination Day**
On the day of the examination, candidates must carry a printed copy of their admit card along with a valid photo identity proof. Entry into the examination center will be denied in the absence of these documents. Furthermore, the gates of the examination center will close 30 minutes before the commencement of the exam; therefore, it is essential to arrive well in advance.
The Commission has strictly prohibited carrying mobile phones, smartwatches, electronic gadgets, or any form of study material into the examination center. Only essential items—such as the admit card, ID proof, a passport-sized photograph, and a pen—will be permitted.
