my birth date is 1 jan 1997, am i eligible for CDS II exam 2021 ?

Hello Akshay

this is the age criteria for CDS II 2020 - (IMA) unmarried male candidates born not earlier than 2nd July 1997 and not later than 1st July 2002

(INA)  unmarried male candidates born not earlier than 2nd July 1997 and not later than 1st July 2002

(AFA)  unmarried male candidates born not earlier than 2nd July 1997 and not later than 1st July 2001

(upper age limit for candidates holding valid and current COMMERCIAL PILOT LICENCE issued by

DGCA (INDIA) is RELAXABLE upto 26 years i.e born not earlier than 2nd July 1995 and not later than

1st July 2001) are eligible.

(OTA MEN) unmarried male candidates born not earlier than 2nd July 1996 and not later than 1st July 2002

(OTA WOMEN) same as OTA MEN

So you can only apply for OTA. And as the last date for the online application for CDS II 2020 has gone, you can apply for CDS I 2021, but remember and make sure to not miss the CDS I 2021 application as it could be your last attempt for CDS as per your date of birth and the next tentative age criteria.

Thank You

Hello Akshay

For CDS II, birth date of candidate should be in between 2nd January 1998 to 1st January 2003. Candidate should be below the age 25 and should be unmarried.

There is no age relaxation irrespective of caste/gender.

Hope this information helps you.

Thanks!
