SSB = The SSB exam is an entrance exam for the army, navy and air force. The SSB exam is a written exam and divided into three Phase – Physical Efficiency Test for Phase-1, Written Examination for Phase-II and Trade Test for Phase-III. It is mandatory to clear all three phases. If you are interested to work in the SSB department at the constable post, then you must fulfil the eligibility criteria first.

GOOD LUCK, STAY MOTIVATED AND HOPE THIS HELPS.

Hello there

CDS stands for Combined Defence Services and it is an examination which is conducted by Union Public Service Commission (UPSC) for the Graduate Level students to get into Indian army as a officer. And when you clear the examination you are called for SSB which stands for Services Selection Board. Basically it is an interview oriented examination where the officers test your qualities rather than your knowledge.

Now when you clear it then you will go into a medical test and after that the final merit list came and thereafter you will be able to attend the academies.

I hope it helps you!

Thank you!
