Hello Aspirant,

As we know that graduation is pre-requisite to get into CDS so by 2023 you will be completing your graduation and also you will be completing your 24 years in the same year, so according to your age criteria you will be eligible for each and every course offered under CDS so you can appear for CDS 2023 and for your reference the age criteria for different courses is mentioned below :-

>> Indian Military Academy - 19 to 24 years

>> Indian Naval Academy - 19 to 24 years

>> Air Force Academy - 20 to 24 years

>> Officers' Training Academy (Men) - 19 to 25 years

>> Officers Training Academy (Women, Non-Technical) - 19 to 25 years


Apart from the age criteria there are some other parameters upon which your eligibility will be determined like your educational qualification which goes like :-

**Indian Military Academy - Bachelor's Degree from a recognised University or equivalent institute

**Indian Naval Academy - Bachelor's Degree in Engineering from a recognised University/ College

**Air Force Academy - Bachelor's Degree from a recognised University (with Physics and Mathematics at 10+2 level) or Bachelor degree in engineering

**OTA (Men) - Bachelor's Degree from a recognised University or equivalent institute

**OTA (Women - Non-Technical) - Bachelor's Degree from a recognised University or equivalent institute
