It is not necessary for you if you want to write the exam or for counselling but if you want to avail the seat reservations and relaxations , it is best you provide your caste certificate.

Hello,

Yes, you are eligible to sit for the Combined Defence Services (CDS) and Air Force Common Admission Test (AFCAT) exams provided you meet certain criteria. For CDS, you need a degree from a recognized university for Indian Military Academy (IMA) and Officers' Training Academy (OTA), and for the Air Force Academy (AFA), you need a degree with Physics and Mathematics at the 10+2 level or a Bachelor of Engineering. The age limits for CDS are 19–24 years for IMA and INA, 19–24 years for AFA, and 19–25 years for OTA. For AFCAT, you need a graduation degree with at least 60% marks and Physics and Mathematics at the 10+2 level for the Flying Branch, or a B.E./B.Tech degree for Ground Duty (Technical), and a three-year graduation degree with 60% marks for Ground Duty (Non-Technical).

The age limits for AFCAT are 20–24 years for the Flying Branch and 20–26 years for Ground Duty. Since you are pursuing a B.P.Ed and have completed 10+2 with science, you meet the basic educational qualifications, provided you also meet the age and other specific criteria.

Hope this helps,

Thank you

One with graduation degree or if anyone is appearing for final semester of graduation is only applicable for CDS II 2024 and CDS 1 2025 .

As long as they have no outstanding backlogs from the previous semester for which results have been announced at the time of application, CDS candidates who are in their final year or semester are eligible to apply for the test.

No you have to finish your undergraduate degree and then write the cds exam . It is best if you complete your course and then focus on the CDS exam . Also you have to make sure to be eligible in terms of age ( 19 - 24 or 25 ) depending on what academy you would like .

The Indian Navy exam dates for 2024 have been announced. The Indian Navy Civilian Entrance Test (INCET-01/2024) was initially scheduled to take place from September 10 to 14, 2024. However, it has been canceled .

For the latest updates on exam dates and notifications, I recommend checking the official Indian Navy website or reputable sources like Careers360.

Hii There,

Certainly. If you're in your third year of engineering, you're eligible to appear for the CDS examination. However, if you qualify the written exam, you won't be able to attend the SSB (Service Selection Board) interview because you must be in the final year of your engineering studies to do so.

Thanks

You can as long as you are 19- 24 or 25 years old and meet other requirements for each academy .

Hello,

No, You do not necessarily need to choose an engineering stream in college to be eligible for CDS or AFCAT exams. As long as you meet the eligibility criteria specified by the exams, you can pursue your desired field of study in college and still appear for these exams. So go ahead and prepare for CDS and AFCAT with your chosen stream.

Hope this helps you,

Thank you

Hello aspirant,

You will be roughly 21 years old by 2026. Based on your age, you can enrol in any of the CDS 2026 courses, including the IMA course. Aside from that, you can enrol in CDS 2029 for IMA, since there is a 24-year-old maximum age limit.

Thank you

Hope this information helps you.
