Hi, I’m Dimple Khandani. With over four years of experience writing about exam results and job updates, I know how important timely and accurate information is for aspirants across the country. Today, I’m sharing a detailed, first-person breakdown of the UPSC NDA 2 final result 2024. If you’ve been waiting eagerly for this announcement, you’re not alone. I’ve received so many messages from readers asking about the release date, toppers, and what comes after. So let’s dive into everything you need to know.

The Big Announcement: UPSC NDA 2 Final Result 2024 Is Out

The Union Public Service Commission (UPSC) has officially declared the final result for the NDA and NA Examination (II), 2024. As someone who follows UPSC updates closely, I know how high the stakes are for this particular exam. It opens the gateway for young individuals to serve the nation in the Indian Army, Navy, and Air Force. This year, a total of 792 candidates have been selected. These names have been shortlisted based on their performance in the written exam conducted on September 1, 2024, and the SSB interviews conducted by the Ministry of Defence.

One thing I always remind candidates is that this result does not include the medical examination marks. The merit list has been strictly prepared based on the written and interview performances.

A Moment of Pride: Imon Ghosh Secures Rank 1

Among the qualified candidates, Imon Ghosh has secured the first position in the final merit list. Personally, I find it incredibly inspiring when a candidate rises to the top in such a competitive exam. The NDA exam isn’t just another test; it demands a mix of intellectual ability, physical fitness, leadership qualities, and mental strength. To see someone excel at all of this is always a proud moment for me as a writer in this field.

Topping the UPSC NDA 2 final result 2024 is no small feat. I’ve interacted with past toppers in previous years and their common trait is clarity of purpose and relentless effort. Imon Ghosh now sets an example for future aspirants.

Highlights of the Merit List

While Imon Ghosh grabbed the spotlight with the top rank, several other notable names appeared in the top 20, including Divyansh Solanki, Rutuja Warhade, Garv Kumar, and Kartik Pant. Seeing names like Rutuja Warhade and Khushi in the list is especially motivating for women aspirants across India. As a 24-year-old woman myself, I truly feel connected to their success.

These candidates are set to begin their training at two of the most respected institutions in India – the National Defence Academy (for Army, Navy, and Air Force wings) and the Indian Naval Academy (specifically for naval training). The upcoming batch will include the 154th Course at NDA and the 116th Course at INA.

What This Result Means for Selected Candidates

If your name is on this merit list, congratulations! I genuinely mean it when I say this is a significant milestone in your life. However, your journey doesn’t end here. I want to stress that your selection is provisional. You’ll need to submit important documents such as your proof of date of birth, academic certificates, and any other required documents to the Additional Directorate General of Recruiting, Ministry of Defence. Until these documents are verified, your candidacy remains provisional.

Also, if you have changed your postal address recently, make sure to inform the relevant authority at Army Headquarters. It’s essential to stay updated and reachable for communication regarding joining instructions and other formalities.

Training Awaits: The Beginning of a New Journey

Once documentation is completed and verification is done, selected candidates will undergo rigorous training. Speaking with past NDA candidates has shown me how transformative this period is. It’s not just physical training; it’s about instilling leadership, ethics, and discipline. The NDA and INA prepare cadets for a life of service, sacrifice, and responsibility.

If you’re among those joining soon, make sure you approach this phase with seriousness and humility. You’re about to become part of an institution that has produced some of India’s finest military leaders.

Where to Check the Result and What Comes Next

For those who haven’t checked yet, you can find the official result PDF on UPSC’s website at www.upsc.gov.in. Search your roll number carefully in the list. I always suggest downloading and saving a copy for future reference.

Another common question I get asked is about marksheets. As per the official announcement, the marks obtained by all candidates will be uploaded on the UPSC website 15 days after the declaration of the final result. So do keep checking the website periodically.

In case you face any confusion or need assistance, UPSC provides a facilitation counter at its New Delhi office. You can reach out with your queries and get clarity on anything related to the result or the next steps. They also have helpline numbers for each defence wing, available through their respective websites.

Final Thoughts: My Message to Aspirants

The UPSC NDA 2 final result 2024 brings with it not just celebration, but also reflection. For those who made it, this is a proud moment. You now carry the responsibility of upholding the values of the armed forces. For those who didn’t make it this time, I want you to know that this is not the end of your journey. Many successful officers I’ve spoken to failed once, even twice, before finally making it. What matters is how you rise after each attempt.

Being in this space for over four years now, I’ve come to realize that results are just one part of a larger journey. Your discipline, character, and consistency will eventually lead you to your destination. Whether it’s NDA or another opportunity, never stop pushing forward.

I’ll keep bringing you more timely updates and information that matter to you. Until then, stay focused, stay humble, and most importantly, stay hopeful.

Thank you for reading.
