Candidate must be a Graduate in any Indian Recognized University or equivalent and must be of 19-25 Years of age. So, you are eligible for applying onto CDS OTA.
Training establishment of the Indian Army that train officers for the Short Service Commission (SSC).
Course duration: 49 weeks course
OTA prepares graduates for all branches of the Army, except for the Army Medical Corps (AMC).
Motto of OTA: “Serve With Honour”
The SSC Short Service commission officer’s tenure is 10+4 years (i.e. a compulsory 10 years of service and 4 years as an extension).
After the completion of this tenure, the officers can either opt for a Permanent Commission (which will be given only based upon the performance seen by confidential reports, etc.) or can opt-out of the Indian Army.
The ex NDA and CTW officers have a slight edge over their SSC counterparts in courses owing to the fact that they have trained three years more than the SSC entries.
You can convert from a short service commission to a permanent commission, however, the vice versa is not possible.
Dear Applicant,
you are eligible to appear for CDS examination conducted by UPSC. Your age group should be between 19 to 24 year. Only unmarried people cant apply for this course
If you fall in this category go ahead and best of luck :-)
