  2. Under What’s New / Examinations, open the NDA & NA Examination (II), 2026 e-Admit Card link.

  3. Sign in with the registered mobile or account fields the portal asks for, plus CAPTCHA.

  4. Match name, date of birth, photo, signature, venue and gate-close time.

What to carry

A hard copy of the e-Admit Card and the photo ID named on it, in every session. No print means no entry. Gates may close before the paper starts. Mobiles, smart watches, calculators and notes stay out unless the card says otherwise. Reach 60–90 minutes early for face checks and frisking.
