Hello kunal,
Hope you are doing great.
See looking as per your DOB as well as year of the completion of your graduation , you won't be eligible for IMA , AFA OR INA. Because by the time you complete your graduation you will exceed the maximum age criteria.
But yes you are eligible for OTA with only one attempt that is too in the last year of your graduation. Because by the time you complete your graduation you will exceed the maximum age criteria which is of 25 years.
So overall it means you have only one attempt to give it a go for CDS.
Hope it might have helped.
