    How the 2026 cutoff works

    UPSC publishes written and final cutoffs by course after the examination cycle.

    Candidates must also meet any minimum paper requirements stated for that cycle.

    Final selection includes the Services Selection Board stage and medical fitness.

    MockPrep does not publish an unsupported single ‘safe score’. Use the official result or counselling notice linked above for released 2026 figures.

    Source and interpretation note

    NDA runs twice yearly. Age windows and vacancies are specific to NDA I or NDA II notices.

    Official authority: Union Public Service Commission (UPSC). Last verified: 23 September 2026.
