Why I am not eligible to apply for CDS entrance exam being a 24 years old ST candidate?


Hello,
I am from the ST community and a graduate. I am 24 years old, when I tried to apply for CDS I was informed that I am not eligible for it. I totally don't understand why I was barred from this exam. Please tell me why?

Being a 24 year candidates are eligible to apply for CDS examination. There is no caste problem in CDS examination. Any community candidate can apply for CDS Examination. You are failed to check CDS Age limits. I mean, you have to check before whether you are satisfied CDS exam eligibility criteria or not.

Military Academy Age limits: 19-24 years.
Air Force Academy Age limits: 19-24 years.
Naval Academy Age limits: 19-22 years.
Officer Training Academy Age limits: 19-25 years.

So, the age limits differs from one service to other service and one more thing you have to check the date of birth mentioned in notification. Every notification, they will publish certain age limits to apply for this examination.

For example (CDS I 2015): Naval Academy: The candidate born not earlier than 2nd January 1992 and not later than 1st January 1997 only are eligible to apply. Like this, they mentioned in notification. Sometimes, you are satisfied, but you are date of birth wise you are ineligible to apply. So, before applying for the post please check the notification.

--> For Indian Naval Academy :- You must have completed Graduation degree in Engineering from a recognised university.
--> Indian Air Force Academy :- You must have completed Graduation degree from a recognised university with Physics and Mathematics at 10+2 level.

3. Age Limit :-
--> Indian Military Academy :- 19-24 years
--> Air Force Academy :- 19-24 years
