i am a arts student can i gave cds exam after graduation
Hi aspirant,
Yes, candidates from Arts background can also give CDS exam after graduation but there are certain restrictions. To be part of Indian Air force you compulsory need to have physics and mathematics in 10 + 2 level and for entry into Indian Navy one must have done Engineering in graduation from a recognised University or College. Now comes the candidate who have done neither they can only be eligible for Indian Military Academy (IMA) and Officers’ Training Academy (OTA). Also in addition to this female candidates would be only considered for officers training academy. In addition to this candidate must meet required age criteria and only class 10 and 12 certificate would be considered valid document for date of birth verification.
