Hello Aspirant,

Hope you are doing great. A medical student is eligible to take the CDSE exam because, regardless of their course of study, all that is required of them is that they have graduated from an accredited university. You have a fantastic opportunity to receive a direct SSB for a SSC course as a medical officer if you are enrolled in an MBBS programme. The CDS Entry programme is only open to graduate students. If you want to join  after completing grade 12, you can take the NDA exam (National Defense Academy Exam).
