Hello,

There isn't any set aggregate required for CDS examination. One just needs to have BTech Degree from a recognized University. For Indian Naval Academy and Air Force Academy, Degree in Engineering is required or having maths at 10+2 is compulsory. For other posts such as OTA and IMA, only degree from a recognized university is needed.

Hello,

You're eligible for Ground Duty(Non-Technical) Branch if you have passed graduation with 60%, all other post in AFSAT specifically asks for 60% in Maths and Physics at 10+2 level, which I don't think you qualify since you mention that you have completed your 12th Standard in Arts Stream.

Now, coming to CDS, you're eligible for Indian Military Academy with age limit being 19 to 23 and Officer Training Academy with age limit being 19 to 24, other posts ask for either PCM at 10+2 level or graduate in Engineering.

Hello aspirant ,

As per the analysis of CDS last years cut off candidates have to score minimum of 20 percent in each subject in written exam to be eligible for CDS 2019. CDS Cut off 2019 for written test for IMA, INA and IFA is calculated out of the total score of 300. The cut offscore for OTA (Men & Women) is calculated out of 200. Yo can go through the attached link for more information :-

Hope it helps!!!

Hi Srijana,

To get into Officer's Tranning Academy  (ota) a candidate needs to appear in cds entrance exam. This exam consists of writters(english,maths&gk) as well as ssb interview rounds.

Now, as you are claiming that you had overcome the pleural effusion completely then you are eligible to appear for this post and exam.

But make sure to clear ssb/physical test and also submit a fit - certificate. 

Good luck. 

Hello Yuvraj,

Here are the Educational qualification eligibility criteria for different posts - 

• For Indian Military Academy (IMA) and Officer's training academy (OTA) - degree of a recognised university or equivalent
• Indian Naval Academy (INA) - degree of engineering from a recognised university/institution
• Air Force Academy (AFA) - degree of a recognized university (with physics and mathematics at 10+2 level) or a bachelor of engineering.

If you are in the final year of your course you are also eligible to apply. You will need to submit a proof of passing the examination by a date to be specified in the Commission's Notice for the examination.

All the Best!

Helo Kaur,

The exam location for CDS Exam will inform in the Admit Card. The exam location changes yearly and it is quite difficult to predict the exact location of the exam center. 

All the best for your Exam.
