Cut Off and Merit List Details
According to the published information, the result PDF contains only roll numbers of qualified candidates — it does not include names, marks or ranks. The candidature of all qualified candidates is provisional, subject to fulfilling the eligibility conditions laid down in the examination notice.
The marks and cut-off marks will be uploaded on the UPSC website only after the final result of the entire selection process is declared. Candidates are advised to wait for that official announcement and not to rely on unofficial cut-off claims circulating online.
What Next After the Result — SSB Interview
Qualified candidates must now face the Services Selection Board (SSB) interview, which is the next stage of selection. According to the press note, candidates who are not already registered must complete their online registration at joinindianarmy.nic.in within two weeks of the declaration of the written result — roughly by 23 October 2026.
After successful registration, the selection centres and SSB dates will be communicated to the registered email address of each candidate. When reporting for the SSB, candidates must carry their original certificates of age and educational qualifications.
