Hello aspirant,

The CDS 1 & 2 exam 2025 notification dates have already been released by the authority. Applications for CDS 1 2025 must be submitted by December 31, 2024. The date of the 2025 CDS 1 exam is April 13, 2025.
On December 11, 2024, the Union Public Service Commission (UPSC) published the notification for NDA 1 2025. From December 11 until December 31, 2024, NDA 1 application form 2025 will be accessible. On April 13, 2025, the NDA 1 2025 written test will take place.
Both the exams will be conducted on April 13, 2025.

Thank you

Hope it helps you

Hello,

In 2025, the Union Public Service Commission (UPSC) is scheduled to conduct both the National Defence Academy (NDA) and Naval Academy Examination (I) and the Combined Defence Services (CDS) Examination (I) on the same day: April 13, 2025.

Therefore, both exams will be held simultaneously, and neither will precede the other. Candidates interested in either examination should prepare accordingly and ensure they meet the eligibility criteria specified in the official notifications.

Hope it helps !

In 2025, both the Combined Defence Services (CDS) Examination I and the National Defence Academy (NDA) & Naval Academy (NA) Examination I are scheduled for April 13, 2025.


Therefore, the NDA I 2025 exam will be conducted first, followed by the CDS I 2025 exam on the same date.


Key Details:


NDA I 2025 Exam: Conducted by the Union Public Service Commission (UPSC) for admission to the Army, Navy, and Air Force wings of the National Defence Academy.


CDS I 2025 Exam: Also conducted by UPSC for admission to the Indian Military Academy, Indian Naval Academy, Air Force Academy, and Officers Training Academy.

NDA I 2025: Application window is open from December 11 to December 31, 2024.


CDS I 2025: Application window is open from December 11 to December 31, 2024.



Recommendation:


If you are interested in either examination, ensure you complete the application process within the specified dates. Given that both exams are scheduled for the same day, you can only appear for o

ne of them in 2025.
