Hey there!

As per the Union public service commission, the candidates should meet the eligibility requirements to apply for CDS exam. It is conducted twice in a year.

Your D.O.B. is 17-10-1998, so, your age as on January 2023 would be 24 years and 3 months.

Following are the age limit to appear for CDS exam:

1. For IMA- 19-24 years
2. INA/ AIR FORCE ACADEMY- 19-23 years
3. Officer's training academy- 19-25 years

I'm not considering the date of exam, but if your age criteria fulfils the above mentioned age limit, then you are eligible for CDS 1 2023 in the respective fields.
