Chetan singh gusain Hello,
The questions asked from Physics, Chemistry and Biology in CDS are fundamental level which you have already studied from class 6th to class 10th. If you are an CDS aspirant then you need to brush up those topics. You can start preparing for CDS by reading NCERT textbooks for PCB subjects from class 6th to class 10th. If you do not have enough time you can read textbooks from class 8th-class 10th. CDS 2 2021 notification yet to be released. You have plenty of time to prepare. It is beneficial for you to start preparing early.
