Hello
For CDS exam there is an age limit for all INA, IMA and AFA is 24 years. And for OTA Gaya and OTA Chennai it is 25 years. As you are saying you are 25 now and will turn 26 years in April next year then it is difficult for you to attend CDS exam and join the force . But once do check for CDS 1 notification which is about to come if your age comes under the given brackets. Mostly it is no but hope the best.
