The minimum educational qualification required is a bachelor's degree from a recognized university. While there is no specific percentage requirement mentioned, a minimum of 55% is generally considered eligible for CDS exam. You will need to clear the written exam and subsequent SSB interview to join the Indian Army through the CDS entry.
