Hi,
According to the eligibility criteria for CDS exam attempters in certain domains, these are the age guidelines -
- For IMA – Unmarried male candidates born not earlier than 2nd January, 1999 and not later than 1st January, 2004 only are eligible.
- Officers' Training Academy (Men's SSC Course) - Only unmarried male candidates born between January 2nd, 1998 and January 1st, 2004 are eligible.
Therefore, you are eligible for both of the posts according to your current age.
To decide between the two, you should check out more criteria mentioned in the official notification regarding the candidate's age:
- Candidates under the age of 25 must be unmarried. During training, marriage is not permitted. Married candidates over the age of 25 are eligible to apply, but they will not be provided with married housing and will not be permitted to live with family outside of the premises during the training period.
- Candidates should be aware that the Commission will only accept the Date of Birth as recorded in the Matriculation/Secondary School Examination Certificate or an equivalent certificate on the date of application submission, and no subsequent request for its change will be considered or granted.
