Hello Friend

Through CDS examination one can choose anyone of
Indian Military Academy or
Naval Academy or
Air Force Academy or
Officers Training Academy
But the eligibility criteria is different for different academies.
The educational qualification required for IMA(Indian Military Academy) and OTA(Officers Training Academy) is
Graduation degree or equivalent in any stream from a recognised University .

The educational qualification required for Air Force Academy and Naval Academy is
Graduation degree from a Recognized University
(with Physics and Mathematics at 10+2 level) or Bachelor of Engineering.

The age limit is as follow;
IMA:
19-23 years
Naval:
19-22 years
Airforce:
19-23 years
OTA:
19-25 years.

The UPSC notification for CDS examination clearly states the upper and lower limit of
date of birth for different academies. The above mentioned age limit is for guidance
but it would be better if you visit the notification for the exam and then find your
eligibility for it.

Dear Friend

There is no relaxation in age limit and/or educational qualification for

defence jobs on the basis of caste.

So, you can't apply for CDS examination under any category (SC/ST/OBC).

However, you can get relaxation in other examination conducted by UPSC
e.g., Civil Services Examination etc.

In civil services examination there is age relaxation of 5 years for ST category candidates.

No,at the age of 26 you can not apply for CDSE.
only 19 to 23 age group candidate participate CDSE.as you say you are belong to SC catagory.and defence not a conduct any exam on the basis of cast system.

Hello friend,
As per the date of birth you've mentioned, I don't think you are eligible to apply for the upcoming Combined Defense Service Exam.
The age limit varies as per the defense force and are as follows:
Indian Military Academy- 19-4 years
Naval Academy- 19-22 years.
Air Force Academy- 19-23 years

So, you can see that you have crossed the maximum age limit for every defense forces and hence you can not be considered eligible for any of those.
It really doesn't matters if you belong to any category because there is no relaxation of age for any category in the combined defense service exam.

For more information, refer to the official website of UPSC.

hellow,
CDS exam is that kind of exam by which candidate can join in Difence.
But in CDS there are various sector where you can get some age relaxation for your ST quota.One thing here no relaxation in educational qualification.
So,may be you are eligible.

Thank you.
