1: Indian Military Academy
2: Indian Naval Academy
3: Air Force Academy

4: Officers’ Training Academy (SSC Men & Women)

NO,there is not any percentage criteria in 12th and in graduation to apply for UPSC CDS examination.

Hello Aspirant,
Here is the eligibility criteria.
CDS Educational Qualification
All the candidates should have completed their Graduation or should be appearing for the final year degree examination. The individual educational qualification required for each institution is discussed below.

I.M.A. and OTA: Degree of a recognized University or equivalent.
Indian Naval Academy (INA):  Degree in Engineering from a recognized university/institution.
Air Force Academy: Degree of a recognized University (with Physics and Mathematics at 10+2 level) or Bachelor of Engineering.
Note: The candidates who are in the final years of their Degree Course and have yet to pass the final year Degree examination are also eligible to apply. Such candidates are required to submit the proof of passing the requisite qualifying examination by a date to be specified in the Commissions Notice for the Examination.
As mentioned, only pass is required for both graduation and 12th.
