Hi Yash Dubey,

There is no limit on the number of attempts for answering CDS, NDA and AFCAT.

• To answer NDA, you must have a passing certificate of class 10+2 and your age should be within 16.5 years to 19.5 years.
• To answer CDS, you must either be in the final year of your degree or must have completed the degree and your age should be within 19-25 years. Note that, you cannot answer CDS after 12th and before final year of your degree.
• To answer AFCAT, you must have completed your graduation at least. You can also apply for AFCAT after your post graduation. If you are applying after graduation, then your age should lie between 20 to 23 years. In case of Post-Graduation, your age should be within 20 to 26 years. Note that, you cannot answer this exam directly after 12th and before completion of your degree.

Hello,

Union Public Service Commission (UPSC) has released the CDS application form 2021 at its official website on October 28. CDS exam conducted twice every year. CDS 1 2021 exam is going to be conducted on February 7, 2021.  The minimum age limit for any course is CDS is 19 years. So to be eligible for CDS the candidate should be of minimum 19 years of age. As your age is not 19 years and is are 16-17 years of age you are not eligible to give CDS exam.

Hello Aditya Sharma,

There is no limit as such to answer CDS and AFCAT exams. For CDS, if your age lies between 19-25 years and if you have completed your graduation, then you can apply for the exam. You can also apply during the final year of your degree if you complete 19 years by then. In other words, I would say until your age is under the limit as mentioned, you can give multiple attempts.

Also, for answering AFCAT exam, there are age limits for different branches. If you are a graduate student, your age limit is 20-23 years. Note that, you should have completed your graduation. You can also apply after completing masters degree if you opt to do higher studies. In that case, the age limit should be 20-25 years. Again, there is no limit to the number of attempts for this exam too.

Hope you are doing good.

To answer your question honestly, there is no concession for BSC nursing graduates in CDS exam.

If you want to join military there is a different provision for nursing graduates. CDSE does not recruit for medical branches aur medical related branches.

Regarding your eye surgery problem. It completely depends on the complexity of the surgery. if the surgery was Complex enough that it would create a problem in your eyesight in the coming years then the the Army doctors would not allow you to join during the medical checking.
