UPSC Extends NDA II and CDS II 2026 Registration Deadline to June 11

Eligible Candidates Receive Additional Time to Apply; Exams Scheduled for September 13

The Union Public Service Commission (UPSC) has extended the registration deadline for the NDA II and CDS II 2026 examinations to 11 June 2026, giving eligible candidates extra time to complete the application process. The decision is expected to benefit aspirants who were unable to register before the earlier deadline.

Extra Time for Aspirants

The extension provides candidates with another opportunity to submit their applications and review their details carefully. Aspirants who have not yet registered should use the additional time to complete the process and ensure that all required information and documents are uploaded correctly.

Examination Schedule Remains Unchanged

While the application deadline has been extended, the examination timetable remains the same. The NDA II and CDS II 2026 examinations are scheduled to be conducted on 13 September 2026 at examination centres across the country.

Candidates Should Avoid Last-Minute Registration

Applicants are encouraged to complete their registration well before the revised deadline to avoid potential technical issues or heavy traffic on the application portal. Early submission also provides time to correct any errors before the process closes.

Opportunity for Defence Aspirants

The NDA and CDS examinations are among India’s most competitive recruitment tests for entry into the armed forces. The extension offers additional flexibility for eligible candidates and helps ensure that more aspirants can participate in the selection process for the 2026 recruitment cycle.
