I was born on 12-07-1999 and I want to apply for CDS 1 OTA (Female) and as I have checked so many sites it says there eligibility for OTA is 25years and I am very confused, please guide me.

Unfortunately you are not eligible for the CDS 1 2024 exam. According to the notification released by UPSC for CDS 1 2024, the DOB should be no earlier than 2nd January, 2000 and the no later than 1st January 2006. In other words your DOB should fall in between these dates. As it is not the case you won't be able to apply for the exam. There is a misinformation circulating across the internet that the age limit for appearing on the CDS written exam is under 25, which is not true. Rather you should be under 25 when joining the academy. As the OTA courses start roughly a year after the written exam, technically to apply for CDS you should be under 24 at that moment. You can anyway check this with the website where you apply online, if you put your DOB, it will show you are not eligible.

can i apply for cds after graduation from an private Institute not approved by ugc

Sajal Trivedi 10th Sep, 2023

Hello aspirant,

If you have already graduated or are in your final year of school, you are eligible to apply for CDS. You can take the CDS if the university from which you received your degree is an accredited institution.

To apply for Chief of Defence Staff, you need to do graduation from a recognised university.

Thank you
