Girls are not eligible for recruitment in Air Force as an officer after qualifying in CDS examination.

Girls are eligible only for selection in Officer's Training Academy.

So, if you want to join Air Force you have to appear and qualify in AFCAT examination.

AFCAT examination is conducted in two stages and you have to qualify in both stages for final selection. For more information visit at www.careeerairforce.nic.in.

No, you are not eligible to join Indian Air Force through CDS being a girl candidate. As per the UPSC CDS examination official notification, only unmarried male candidates who have passed Bachelor's degree course in any discipline from a Government recognised university with Mathematics and Physics subjects at 12th standard from a Government recognised board are eligible to apply for CDS examination. So, being a girl candidate, you are not eligible to apply for CDS examination for joining in Indian Air Force.

CDS is Combined Defence Service. The examination is conducted twice in a year.

It is conducted for recruitment in Indian Army, Navy, Air Force and OTA.

Girls are eligible for recruitment in OTA ( Officer's Training Academy ).

So, you are not eligible for selection in Indian Air Force through CDS entry.

Re: Can I join Indian Air Force through CDS being a girl candidate?

CDS refers to Combined Defense Services and it has four wings which includes Naval Academy (NA), Air force Academy (AFA), Indian Military Academy (IMA) and Officer's Training Academy ( OTA ).

Further for joining any of the four wings of CDS, you need to qualify CDS entrance examination held by UPSC twice every year.

Now, as far as you are concerned about your possibility to join Air force ( i.e; AFA ) through CDS then I would like to let you know that being a girl candidate you can only join OTA through CDS and therefore you are not eligible to join AFA or NA or IMA through CDS.

But, if you are interested to join Indian Air force then you can join the same through AFCAT ( Air force Common Admission Test ).

For more details regarding the career opportunities in Indian Air force, you can refer to the link www.careerairforce.nic.in.

No, girls/female candidates cannot join Indian Air Force through CDS Exam that is conducted by UPSC every year.

Through CDS Exam, they can apply for OTA (Officers' Training Academy) but not Air force.

However, to join Indian Air Force, girls can apply for AFCAT exam (Air Force Common Admission Test) that is conducted by Indian Air Force every year.
