In short

UPSC has not yet published a numeric 2026 cutoff. Its 8 May 2026 written-result notice states that marks and cutoff marks are uploaded only after the entire process is over and the final result is declared. The verified NDA I 2025 record is shown separately and clearly labelled historical.

Monitored cutoff records

The 2026 status and the historical 2025 record are monitored separately.

Historical: NDA I 2025 official record

These are distinct metrics from the official UPSC recommendation-details and cutoff document. They are not labelled simply “the cutoff”.

Terminology that must stay separate

Four different things

  • written-stage minimum qualifying standard;
  • marks of the last recommended candidate at final stage;
  • final merit / order of merit;
  • service allocation.

Collapsing these into one generic “NDA cutoff” misleads candidates, so this page keeps every row labelled with event identity, stage, metric, marks, marks out of, official source, publication date and current-or-historical status.

What this page never publishes

Prohibited outputs

  • expected cutoff;
  • predicted safe score;
  • conversion of written-result roll lists into a numeric threshold;
  • service-allocation threshold unless UPSC officially supplies it.

Checked against official NDA & NA sources

Every figure on this page comes from an official UPSC document with its own publication date.
