For CDS 2 2025, with a date of birth of 6th October 2001, you are eligible for both IMA and OTA. The age limits for IMA are 19-24 years and for OTA are 19-25 years as of 1st January 2025, making you eligible for both academies.
Yes, based on your date of birth (October 6, 2001), you are eligible for both the Indian Military Academy (IMA) and Officers Training Academy (OTA) through CDS 2 2025.
Eligibility:
Indian Military Academy (IMA):
Age Range: 19 to 24 years on 1st July 2025.
Your age on 1st July 2025 will be 23 years, so you are eligible.
Officers Training Academy (OTA):
Age Range: 19 to 25 years on 1st January 2025.
Your age on 1st January 2025 will be 23 years, so you are eligible.
You are within the age limits for both IMA and OTA in CDS 2 2025.
To determine your eligibility for the Indian Military Academy (IMA) and Officers' Training Academy (OTA) in the CDS 2 2025 exam, we need to consider the age limits set by the Union Public Service Commission (UPSC).
For the Indian Military Academy (IMA) , the age limit for unmarried male candidates is that they must have been born not earlier than 2nd July 2001 and not later than 1st July 2006 for CDS 2 2025. Since your date of birth is 6th October 2001 , you fall within this age bracket. Additionally, for IMA, candidates must be unmarried.
For the Officers' Training Academy (OTA) , the age limit for male candidates is that they must have been born not earlier than 2nd January 2001 and not later than 1st January 2007 for CDS 2 2025. Again, your date of birth of 6th October 2001 falls within this range. For the OTA, both unmarried men and unmarried women, issueless widows who have not remarried, and issueless divorcees who have not remarried are eligible.
Based on your date of birth of 6th October 2001 and assuming you meet the marital status criteria (unmarried for IMA and unmarried for male candidates for OTA), you appear to be eligible for both IMA and OTA for the CDS 2 2025 exam based on the age criteria.
However, please note that there are other eligibility criteria such as educational qualifications that you would also need to meet to be fully eligible for these academies. For both IMA and OTA (for men), a bachelor's degree from a recognized university or equivalent is required.
