Re: Eligibility criteria to apply for CDS examination?

Hello all.... I am very clear on the age limit for the o.t.a. being 25. But the c.d.s. (i) 2012 examination ad' that was published in the employment news dated 29 oct. - 4 nov. clearly mentions age limit for the o.t.a. born not earlier than 2nd jan. 1988 and not later than 1st jan 1994. My d.o.b. is 09.08.1988 and am going 2 receive my degree next year in december. So I am planning to sit for the c.d.s. (ii) exam 2012. Will i still be eligible for the exam and also can anybody please clarify the difference between the age limits of the o.t.a. and the c.d.s. Because its my understanding that the only way into the o.t.a. is through the c.d.s. examination. Thank you and all the best to everyone aspiring to join the Indian military...Godspeed

Naval Academy and Air force Academy also have same age limits with 19-22 and 19-23 of age respectively.

If you clear your exam then you will be called for SSb interview and so on as per the existing rules of the government.
