Dear friend


To appear in CDS(combined defense services), the eligibility is graduation in any

discipline.As you are B.E. (mechanical)so, of course you are eligible to appear in CDS

exam.

Friend, syllabus of CDS is not different for B.E. student. I will advice you that do not

join army through CDS, it will be tough for you to join army through this scheme.

For engineers , there are various different scheme to join indian defense services.

The various scheme are as follows:

UES(university entry scheme) : through this scheme ,you have to face direct interview

and after getting success you will be call forSSB. you can appear for this in your 3rd

year and 4th year.


2.EKT(engineering knowledge test): Through this scheme you have to give a written test ,after completing this stage you will be call for SSB.

3. SSC(short service commission) : In this scheme,also you have to appear

for written test.After clearing written test you will be called for SSB.Actually in this

scheme, you will be commissioned for 15 years in the force.


NOTE : Friend,for the preparation of written test ,you should read the mechanics,

math,physics that you have read in 1st year.

Career in Indian Defense is full of adventure and life.There you will get

respect in the society as well as money and security of yourself and your belongings.

So, go for it and enjoy the life.

best of luck

Thumbs up Re: Can b.e (mechanical engineering) students write cds exam?

dear friend,
After completion of your B.Tech in ME you can apply for CDS.
Combined Defense Services (CDS) Exam is generally conducted twice a year by the Union Public Service Commission(UPSC) to recuirt the Indian Military Academy(IMA), Officers Training Academy(OTA), Naval Academy and Air Force Academy(AFA).

& in CSD you have to face three stage of tests:
1.written exam,
2.SSB interview and
3.Medical test.

As you didn't mention your date of birth, so it is difficult to say about your eligibility, but if you fulfill all the criteria of CDS then you could sure apply for CDS.
& for more information regarding eligibility criteria you can visit: www.upsc.gov.in

But as a Mechanical engineer you can also apply for EKT(engineering knowledge test) & university entry scheme for the technical post of Defence.
