good luck

A separate merit list is prepared for NCC Cadets who have "C" Certificate. You have to apply for SSB which happens twice a year. So through SSB, you can get into OTA. But for that you should have completed your Graduation in any discipline with a minimum aggregate of 50% and should be between 19-25 years. But if you are still in our 2nd year of Bachelor's degree, you need to wait until the next year.

Dear Srujana,

Thank you for your query.If you have a NCC C certificate then you have a lot of benefits when it comes to the CDS Exams. The C certificate gives you priviledge over others who are attempting the CDS Exam.

All the best
