Dear Reader,



As per your age you are eligible but as per your qualification you will be eligible to write CDS writtern exam next year. UPSC release notification for CDS twice a year. You will be eligible as soon as you finish your 6th semester and get your marksheet because CDS require atleast 3 year of degree.



There is an advantage for you here, as you are an engineering student you will be allowed for one extra branch that is the engineering (technical branch). Also you will get age relaxation of 2 years. Apart from this, engineers can directly appear for SSB interview without writing any entrance exam. The entries are SSC-TECH and UES NAVY.

Also you are a male candidate so you will be allowed for all three forces that is army, air force and navy.  While girls are only allowed for army through CDS.

So prepare well.

Good luck
