The wait is almost over for thousands of defense aspirants across the country. Following the successful conduct of the NDA 1 2026 written exam on April 12, 2026, the Union Public Service Commission (UPSC) is on the verge of announcing the results. Historically, UPSC releases the written results within 15 to 20 days of the examination, making late April or the first week of May 2026 the peak window for the declaration.
