Hi,

For IAS and CDS, it is necessary to complete graduation. However according to the criteria for CDS, it is mandatory for a student to have a degree in Engineering along with physics and mathematics as mandatory subjects in Class 12th specially for Air force. Thus, it is suggested for you to take PCM in 12th as it will keep your options for all the career possibilities.

You can refer these links for UPSC CDS and UPSC IAS for more detailed information: https://competition.careers360.com/exams/cds

Hello student,

Union Public Service commission each year conducts CDS examination. The basic eligibility criteria to be appear in Air Force Academy is just you should have your graduation degree from a government recognised University, or bachelor of engineering degree you should have physics and mathematics in your 10 plus two level.

if you have done your one year graduation course from any government recognised Institute you are available for CDS examination.

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:

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

Hello vaibhav pandit

I hope you are doing good. I would like to tell you that for getting into an army after 10+2 can be done by two options NDA And TES(tecnical entry scheme). As per you query , if you want to btech you can go for technical entry scheme , in which you have to fill the form . After filling the form ,depending on  the number of candidate applied, they shortlisted candidates by deciding a cut off and  then shorlisted candidate have go through only SSB round (most important). All the expenses of education ,training of final selected candidate are done by the army.

I personally advise ypu to go for tes because at your percentage you will easily get a call from them. I am sharing below the link for your reference.
