No, you are not eligible to apply for CDS examination for joining IMA while doing 3rd year of graduation. To be eligible to apply for CDS examination, you should have passed Bachelor's degree course or an equivalent examination from a Government recognized university. Since, you have not passed your Bachelor's degree course, you are not eligible to apply for CDS examination.
