What the calendar is, and what it is not

The English calendar PDF is headed “as on 20.05.2026” and says the dates of notification, commencement, and duration are liable to alteration. Treat 2 December and 22 December 2026 as the published plan for NDA (I) and CDS (I), then recheck upsc.gov.in when the notification is posted.

Do not resize a photograph to a kilobyte figure from a previous year’s notice and assume 2027 uses it. This page will not supply that figure.
