Hello Rajendra,  Yes CDS officers have more salary as compare to NDA officers. Salary for NDA officer starts form 21k while , a CDS officers salary starts from 45-50 K. And the salary goes on as per the post. But NDA is more better because students can apply for NDA after 12 th. So if we consider physical training,  then it is quite easy to face the training For 3 year.  In CDS training period is less but to face that training is really difficult. 

I hope it will help you more. 

Thanks.

Hello Vinuthna, as you had put your date of birth as 2nd of july, 1995 instead of 1st of july 1995, it can create a problem at the time of admission. As at the time of verification your details can be mismatched. You should correct it at the time of document verification and admission.

Hi Bhagyashree,

Candidates with a b.com degree are also eligible for giving CDS exam.

But they can only apply for IMA or OTA posts and not for AF or INA.

Also, being a female candidate you can only apply for Officer's Tranning Academy  (OTA).The age limit for this is between 19 to 24 years too.

So, ultimately yes you can sit for the exam even with your b.com degree.

Good luck. 

Dear STudent,

Yes you can appear for CDS exam because Graduate in any stream candidate can apply for this.

Hi Salman,

For CDS the basic educational eligibility is to have graduation degree in any field.

Similarly in case of engineering you can choose any stream of your intrest because intrest is more important than anyother point.

There are different options in engineering as well like-

mechanical; civil; electronics&communication; it;biotechnology; computer software; fire&safety; aerospace; architecture; etc.

So, just choose wisely giving preference to your intrest and do prepare for cds too.

Good luck. 

Hello Aspirant,

For SSB interview the maximum marks for Indian Military academy, Air force academy and naval academy is 300 marks each and for OTA(officers training academy) it is 200 marks.

We cannot predict one's score as the score achieved depends on candidate's performance and to achieve a  better score you need officers like qualities, physically fit and mentally strong and morally awake what happening in current society.

I hope this is helpful.

All the best!
