Thank you

Hello there,

Yes, you can apply for the Combined Defence Services (CDS) exam for the Indian Military Academy (IMA) after completing your graduation in 2027, based on your date of birth, 29th November 2003. Here’s how your eligibility works out:

Eligibility Criteria for CDS IMA:

  1. Age Limit: For IMA, the candidate should be between 19 and 24 years old at the time of course commencement. Since you were born on 29th November 2003, you will be within the eligible age range for several years after your graduation.

  2. Educational Qualification: A degree from a recognized university or equivalent is required. Since you will complete your graduation in 2027, you will meet this qualification.

  3. Application Timing: The CDS exam is conducted twice a year. Depending on the exam you apply for, your eligibility will be determined by your age at the time of the course commencement, typically a few months after the exam.

    Example Timeline:

If you apply for the CDS exam in 2027, the courses would typically start in 2028, and you would be 24 or under, fitting within the age limit.

Conclusion:

You are eligible to apply for the CDS exam for IMA as long as you apply before you turn 24. Make sure to check the specific age cutoff for the exact year you plan to apply.

I hope this answer helps you. If you have more queries then feel free to share your questions with us we will be happy to assist you.

Thank you and wishing you all the best for your bright future.

To determine your eligibility for the CDS (Combined Defence Services) exam in 2027, we need to consider the age criteria set by the Union Public Service Commission (UPSC), which conducts the exam.

For the CDS exam, the age criteria generally are as follows:

  1. Indian Military Academy (IMA) : Candidates should be between 19 to 24 years old.
  2. Indian Naval Academy (INA) : Candidates should be between 19 to 24 years old.
  3. Air Force Academy (AFA) : Candidates should be between 19 to 24 years old.
  4. Officers’ Training Academy (OTA) : Candidates should be between 19 to 25 years old.

Your date of birth is 29th November 2003. By March 2027, you will be 23 years and 4 months old. This means you fall within the eligible age range for all branches (IMA, INA, AFA, and OTA) for the CDS exam.

Given that you will complete your course in March 2027, you should be eligible to apply for the CDS exam in 2027, provided you meet other criteria such as nationality, marital status, and educational qualifications. Make sure to check the official CDS notification for any updates or changes in the eligibility criteria closer to the exam date.


Hello aspirant,
The upper age limit for CDS IMA is 24 years. Since you are currently 21 years 3 months old, you have 2 years and 9 months left to appear for the CDS IMA exam. This means you can attempt the exam 3 more times before reaching the age limit.

However, please note that this is just a general estimate and the actual number of attempts may vary depending on the specific notification released by the UPSC for the CDS exam in 2025. It is always advisable to refer to the official notification for accurate information regarding the age limit and number of attempts allowed.

I hope this information helps you.

Hello Aspirant

The eligibility criteria for CDS is that the candidate must be between the ages of 19 to 25 years. Since you were born in 2003, that will make you 24 years old, making you eligible for the exam.

But, just to be on the safer side, I would suggest that you start appearing for the exam now itself since you have crossed the minimum age limit and it would give you the practice that you need.

Hope this helps
