NCERT LDC Result 2026

NCERT LDC Result 2026 is a result announcement covered on this page. The key figures are an application window closing 16 January 2026 and a fee of ₹10 for unreserved candidates. Everything below — dates, eligibility, fee and the official links — is set out in the order you will need it.

Applications open on 27 December 2025 and close on 16 January 2026, giving candidates 21 days to complete the process. At 21 days this is a normal-length window, but the fee and upload steps are the ones that fail late, so leave a few days of margin. The exam is currently shown for 24-27 March 2026; treat this as provisional until the admit card confirms it.

The age limit runs from 18 to 27 years for unreserved candidates. That is a 9-year band, so candidates near either edge should confirm the exact cut-off date the notification measures age against — it is usually a fixed reference date, not the date you apply. On qualifications, the notification states: 10+2 Intermediate / Degree / Diploma in Related Trade. For Post Wise Eligibility Details Read the Notification. If your degree is an equivalent under a different name, look for the equivalence clause in the official PDF before paying the fee — a form rejected for a qualification mismatch is not usually refundable.

SC / ST and PH Candidates are exempt from the application fee under this notification. Fee-paying categories are charged between ₹2 and ₹10, depending on category. Payment is accepted via debit card, credit card, net banking, and offline bank challan. Pay only through the official portal linked on this page; the fee is normally non-refundable once the form is submitted.

Once you have your result, download and save the scorecard immediately — result portals for large recruitments are frequently taken offline weeks after publication, and the scorecard is required at document verification. Watch the same recruiting body for the next stage notice, which is usually published separately rather than as an update to the result page.
