Hi dear candidate,

To be eligible for CDS 1 Exam 2026, your age should fall between 20 to 24 years old. And with your date of birth of 21 December 2002, means that you will be 23 years old as of 1st January, 2026. CDS 1 exam 2026 is expected to take place in April 2026.

Considering the above:

Yes, you will be able to give exam for CDS 1 in 2026.

ALL THE BEST !

Hello,

To apply for the CDS 1 2026 exam for the Flying Branch (Air Force Academy) , your date of birth should be between 2nd January 2003 and 1st January 2007 (both dates inclusive).

Your date of birth is 21st December 2002 , so you are not eligible for the Flying Branch in CDS 1 2026.

You exceed the upper age limit.

Hope it helps!
