The wait is over for thousands of defence job aspirants. The Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) has declared the CEPTAM 11 Tier 2 result 2026 for Technician-A posts today, 9 November 2026. Candidates who appeared for the Tier 2 exam on 15 June 2026 can now check their marks and qualifying status on the official website, drdo.gov.in.
The result covers the Technician-A (Tech-A) posts under the CEPTAM 11 recruitment, which carries 764 vacancies for Technician-A and Senior Technical Assistant-B (STA-B) posts. The result has been released trade-wise, so candidates need to open the link for the trade they applied for. The STA-B Tier 2 result is still being prepared and will be released separately.
Which trades are covered in the result
The Tech-A Tier 2 result has been declared for trades including Electrician, Fitter, Machinist, COPA, Welder, Turner, Carpenter, Book Binder, Draughtsman (Mechanical), Electronics, Mechanic (Motor Vehicle), Optical Worker, Photographer, Sheet Metal Worker and Surveyor. Candidates can log in with their application number and date of birth to see their scorecard, which shows the marks obtained and whether they have qualified for the next stage.
DRDO had released the provisional answer key for the Tier 2 exam on 18 June 2026, three days after the exam. The result declared today is the final outcome of that written stage, and it decides who moves forward in the selection process.
How to check the DRDO CEPTAM 11 Tier 2 result 2026
Checking the result takes only a few minutes, but keep your application number and date of birth ready before you start. Follow these steps:
- Visit the official website, drdo.gov.in, or the CEPTAM portal, ceptam.drdo.gov.in.
- Go to the “What is New” section on the homepage.
- Click on the “CEPTAM-11 STA-B and Tech-A” link.
- Open the “DRDO CEPTAM 11 Tier-2 Result 2026” link for Technician-A.
- Select your trade, such as Electrician, Fitter, Machinist, COPA, Welder or Turner.
- Enter your application number and date of birth, then submit.
- Your result status and scorecard will appear on the screen. Download it and keep a printout for future use.
The direct result link is also hosted at drdo.res.in/ceptam_noticeboard/drentrystatus/, where candidates log in to check their marks and qualifying status.
What happens next: Trade Test, documents and medical
Qualifying the Tier 2 exam is not the end of the process. Shortlisted Technician-A candidates will now appear for the Trade Test, a practical, qualifying test based on their trade at ITI level. Candidates should revise the hands-on skills of their trade and watch the official website for the Trade Test schedule.
After the Trade Test, the remaining stages are document verification and a medical examination. Final appointment follows only after all stages are cleared. STA-B candidates, meanwhile, will proceed directly to document verification once their Tier 2 result is declared.
Candidates should keep these documents ready: Class 10 (Matric) certificate, ITI certificate (NTC/NAC) in the trade, category certificate if applicable, a photo ID proof, and a printout of the Tier 2 result or scorecard.
What the scorecard shows
The scorecard carries the candidate’s name, roll number, registration number, post name, category, marks obtained and qualifying status. Candidates should check every detail carefully after downloading it. If any detail looks wrong, they should contact the CEPTAM authorities through the official portal rather than trusting unofficial helpline numbers circulating on social media.
DRDO has not announced the Trade Test dates yet. The schedule will be published on drdo.gov.in, so candidates should keep checking the official website instead of relying on forwarded messages or third-party sites for dates.
