Greetings Amom!
Hope you're doing great.
It's a very common question comes into the mind of the CDS aspirants. Every year Combined Defence Service(CDS) conducts two parallel exams in the form of CDS I and CDS II. I hope you must have gone through the details of the examination and age limit.
Let's get into the eligibility criteria to get into Air Force Academy(I'm considering you want to opt for flying division): A candidate should have Physics and Maths in his 12th standard to be eligible to apply for the flying stream. Since you've completed your 12th with Science Major so, you are very much eligible for flying branch.
It doesn't matter what you've taken in your graduation stream if you're applying for Air Force Academy and Indian Military Academy. However, to be eligible for Indian Naval Academy one mush have B.Sc degree in graduation.

Hello Amom, well, answer is yes. You can apply for CDS air force exam. Because it accepts the degree from any stream. But physics and maths are mandatory subjects in 11 and 12th. And as you said you have completed your 12 th with PCM. So you can apply for exam.
Best of luck.
Thanks.
