I hope this answer helps. All the very best for your future endeavors!

Dear aspirant hope you are a doing well..

As my opinion it's not a good idea to prepare  for both at the same time, I suggest that once you clear your D. U entrance examination and take admission in law college of delhi university, then you have sufficient time to prepare for the CDS exam, As I know many of the engineering student / b. Tech students prepare for the UPSC simultaneously the Accademy session. So you may also prepare for the CDS examination simultaneously with your Academic session.
