    kumardurgesh1802 29th Dec, 2024

    Hello Swastika,

    Yes, as a student of a 5-year integrated law course , you can be eligible for the CDS (Combined Defence Services) exam at the end of your 4th year , provided you meet the following criteria:

    1. Educational Qualification : For the Indian Army wing, you must have completed your graduation or be in the final year of your degree course. Since you are pursuing a 5-year integrated law course, you will be eligible to apply once you have completed the 4th year (which would make you eligible for the CDS exam, as per the graduation requirement).

    2. Age Limit : Ensure that you meet the age criteria for the CDS exam. For the Indian Army wing, the age limit is typically 19 to 24 years .

    3. SSB Interview : If you qualify for the CDS written exam , you will be called for the SSB (Services Selection Board) interview. Your eligibility for the SSB will depend on successfully clearing the written exam and meeting the medical fitness and other criteria.

    Since you are pursuing a law degree, you can appear for the Indian Army wing of the CDS exam. Make sure you meet the age and qualification requirements by the time you appear for the exam.

    if I complete my college by dummy or non regular and achieve degree. Than there can any wrong impression in ssb or should I screen out? ( If I passed in cds exam )
    Samprikta Mondal 23rd Oct, 2024

    No, completing your college through dummy or non-regular means will not necessarily result in a negative impression during your SSB interview or screening process.

    The SSB (Service Selection Board) assesses candidates based on various qualities such as leadership, teamwork, problem-solving, and personality. While the mode of completing your college education may be considered, it is not the sole determining factor.

    Here are some important points to keep in mind:

    • Focus on the Fundamentals: Ensure you have a strong understanding of the core subjects related to your degree. The SSB assesses your knowledge and problem-solving skills, not just the mode of study.
    • Extracurricular Activities: Highlight any extracurricular activities, internships, or projects you've undertaken during your college years. These can demonstrate your leadership, teamwork, and initiative.
    • Confidence and Communication: Project confidence and effective communication skills during the SSB process. Your ability to express yourself clearly and confidently is crucial.
    • Honesty and Integrity: Be honest about your educational background and any relevant experiences. The SSB values integrity and transparency.

    While completing your college through dummy or non-regular means may raise questions, it is not an automatic disqualification. If you can demonstrate your knowledge, skills, and potential, you can still successfully clear the SSB and be considered for selection.

    It's important to focus on developing the qualities and skills that are valued by the SSB. By showcasing your abilities and potential, you can overcome any initial concerns related to your mode of education.

    kumardurgesh1802 24th Aug, 2024

    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.

    my dob is 29 11 2003 i join college in 2022 my courses duration is 4.6 year i completed in 2027 March i am eligible cds 2027
    monag2673 24th Aug, 2024

    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.

    my age 21 years 3 months........ how many attempts i have left for CDS ima 2025
    Kanishka kaushikii 22nd Aug, 2024

    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.

    my dob is 29/11/2003 and my graduation will be completed in August 2026 i will be eligible for cds exam 2027 and how many attempts will available after graduation
    Ishita 18th Aug, 2024

    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
