Combined Defence Services Examination
Hello,
There isn't any set aggregate required at graduation level for CDS, for different posts, the eligibility criteria differs only in terms of streams, like for Indian Naval Academy and Air Force Academy it requires passed Bachelor Degree in Engineering from a recognized university or having passed Maths and Physics at 10+2 level, while for IMA and OTA it merely requires degree from a recognized university.
Dear Madhan, you haven't mentioned if you completed your BE but have few arrears left or if you had arrears but cleared all the subjects and secured your BE degree. You are eligible for CDS in both the cases. If you have completed your BE and are between 20-24 years, you are eligible for CDS. On the other hand, even if you have arrears, you will be considered as final year and are eligible for CDS provided that at the time of admission you can produce relevant documents proving that you have completed the required course on time.
