Dear exam !
Hope you are doing great ! See,neet and CDS are both different things , neet is for serving the country as a doctor while CDS exam is for a respectful position in defence,if you clear neet in 2023 then why you need to give CDS exam ,means you will then go to college for mbbs then why are you asking about CDS,don't get distracted from your path ,choose only one career option either CDS or neet ,if you want to be in defence then just finish your graduation in any stream for 3 years and be eligible for CDS exam otherwise clear neet and do mbbs ,keep only one goal and be consistent.
Hope you understand!!
Thanking you
