Combined Defense Services Exam (I) English Papers

Advertisements

Combined Defense Services Exam is the only path to join the Indian Defense Forces. UPSC conducts this exam twice every year, in the months of May and October, for recruiting candidates to office cadre of the Air Force, Navy and Army. The candidates who get selected in the written exam are then interviewed and the finally selected candidates are then sent for training to Indian Military Academy (IMA), Dehradun or Force Academy, Begumpet, Hyderabad or Naval Academy, Goa or Officers Training Academy (OTA), Chennai.

Exam Pattern

The CDS exam has three papers i.e. English, General Knowledge and Elementary Mathematics. The English paper tests the grasp of the student on English language and workman-like use of words. The paper is of 2 hours duration and full marks are 100. The paper consists of multiple choice type questions in which 4 choices are provided for each and every question and only one option is correct. There is also negative marking for each incorrect answer. For every wrong answer one third of the marks allotted for that question would be deducted from the total score of the candidate. If candidates points more than one answer for the same question, the answer would be treated as wrong and there will be same penalty.
