Hello Aspirant,

Right now you are not eligible for CDS examination because for either Air Force Academy or for any other academy the candidate should have Bachelor's degree at least and that too from central/state recognized university and for Air Force Academy the candidate should have bachelor's degree along with passing certificate of 10+2 with Physics and Mathematics subjects included in it.

Now whatever marks you scored in Mathematics, it doesn't matter but you should be pass in Physics and Mathematics so if you are pass in both the subjects then after getting your Bachelor's degree you can apply for CDS Air force academy but also consider the age limit for Air force Academy which is 20 to 24 years, so after completing 24 years of age you will not be eligible to join AFA through CDS.
