Union Public Service Commission Announces Written Exam Results

On April 13, 2025, the Union Public Service Commission (UPSC) conducted the Combined Defence Services Examination (I), 2025, resulting in 8,516 candidates qualifying for interviews with the Service Selection Board of the Ministry of Defence. These candidates are vying for admission to various prestigious military training courses, including the Indian Military Academy, Indian Naval Academy, and Air Force Academy, all commencing in early 2026. The candidates must meet specific requirements and deadlines to secure their positions.

Provisional Candidature and Document Submission

The candidates who have qualified for the interviews hold provisional status. They are required to submit original certificates to verify their age, educational qualifications, and other claims, such as NCC credentials. The submission deadlines vary depending on the course. For those aiming for the Indian Military Academy and Indian Naval Academy, the original certificates must be submitted by January 1, 2026. Candidates for the Air Force Academy must submit their documents by November 13, 2025, while those applying for the Officers Training Academy have until April 1, 2026. It is crucial that candidates do not send their original certificates to the UPSC but instead deliver them to the respective military headquarters.

Registration for SSB Interviews

Candidates who have passed the written examination and selected the Army as their first choice must register on the recruiting directorate’s website, www.joinindianarmy.nic.in. This registration is essential for receiving information regarding the SSB interview call-up. Candidates who have already registered should refrain from registering again to avoid any confusion. This step is vital for ensuring that candidates are informed about their interview schedules and other relevant updates.

Address Changes and Contact Information

Candidates are advised to promptly inform the Army Headquarters, Naval Headquarters, or Air Headquarters of any changes to their addresses. This communication is important to ensure that candidates receive all necessary information regarding their interviews and admissions. For further assistance, candidates can visit the Facilitation Counter near Gate โ€œCโ€ of the UPSC or contact the provided telephone numbers during working hours. Specific contact numbers are available for inquiries related to the Army, Navy, and Air Force, ensuring that candidates have access to the information they need.

Results and Marks Availability

The marks of candidates who did not qualify for the examination will be accessible on the UPSC website within 15 days of the final result publication for the Officers Training Academy. This information will remain available for 30 days, allowing candidates to review their performance. The UPSC encourages candidates to check their results and stay informed about their status through the official website, ensuring transparency in the examination process.
