What Happens After the Result?

1. Online registration. In earlier years, qualified candidates had to register on the Indian Army recruiting website, joinindianarmy.nic.within two weeks of the result announcement. Watch for the same instruction in the 2026 notice.

2. SSB interview. Qualified candidates are called for the Services Selection Board interview. It is expected between November 2026 and February 2027.

3. Final merit list. The final merit combines written marks (Mathematics 300 plus GAT 600, so 900 in all) with SSB marks out of 900, for a total of 1,800.

Tips While You Wait

• Keep your admit card and roll number handy.
• Don't rely on Telegram groups or unofficial sites for "confirmed" results.
• Start SSB preparation now: work on Officer Intelligence Rating (OIR) tests, Picture Perception and Description Test (PPDT), group tasks, and fitness. Waiting for the result costs you weeks of prep time.
