Hello,
Hope you are doing good.
The National Defence Academy (NDA) and the Combined Defence Services (CDS), both are exams conducted by the UPSC to join The Triservice in India.
Below I have mentioned some differences between both the exams:
Parameter
NDA
CDS
Age
16.5-19.5 Years
19-25 Years
Gender
Male
Male and Female
Educational Qualification
10+2
Degree
Duration of Training
4-4.5 Years
18 months for IMA Cadets
37-40 months for Navy Officers
74 months for Air Force Officers
From a prvious question you posted it is understood that you have finished your 12th. In this case you can try for the NDA exam. But to be eligible for CDS you need to have completed your Degree.
Hope this helps
Good Luck
