Hi,

For CDS, the minimum qualification required is Graduation. If you are doing your graduation, then you can apply for CDS. You can also apply for CDS in your final year of graduation provided that your Graduation exam results come before Joining date of CDS. You can also apply for other Armed Forces entry like University Entry Scheme- Navy, AFCAT etc.

Thanks!!!!
