To notify you at the start,it is that there is no provision for Girls for CDS exam,as only unmarried male candidate is eligible for the exam.

This exam is being conducted by UPSC and is held twice a year for candidates to join in defence forces of India.The candidates who apply for the exam should satisfy:

• Nationality
• Age limit
• Martial status
• Education qualification

The Nationality standard states that the candidate should have a citizenship in India and the age limit needed for joining in Indian army is 19-24 years of age.The martial status needed for the exam is that the candidate should be a Unmarried male candidate.Education qualification needed is that the candidate should have completed a Degree from a recognized university.

If you satisfy them all then you can apply for the CDS exam

As you are a Girl,you are ineligible for applying for the exam
