Based on this, the NDA 2 admit card is expected to be available by September 4, 2026, though the exact timing is not officially confirmed.

Important Instructions for Candidates
UPSC will not permit candidates to enter the centre with a digital copy of the admit card, so a physical printout is mandatory.
