Dates are from the UPSC Annual Calendar 2027 (released 20 May 2026), as reported by news sites. UPSC says calendar dates can change; the exact dates appear in each exam notice on upsc.gov.in. The notice date can shift by a week or two: NDA (I) 2026 was notified on 10 December 2025, and its form closed on 30 December 2025. After the written result, you must register on the service recruitment website (joinindianarmy.nic.in) within the time UPSC gives, usually about two weeks, to get an SSB date. SSB interviews and the medical exam run over the following months, and the final result comes out about 7 to 8 months after the written exam.
