I'm studying in class 12th with Science stream and I'm a girl candidate of 17 years. Am I eligible to apply for Combined Defense Service (CDS) and OTA exams?

No, you are not eligible to get admission to apply for CDS and OTA examination. For joining in Indian Armed Forces, you have to appear in NDA examination instead of CDS examination after completion of your 12th standard. Only unmarried male candidates who are in the age range of 16.5 to 19.5 years are eligible to apply for NDA examination. So, being a girl candidate, you are not eligible to apply for NDA examination.

CDS refers to Combined Defense Services and CDS entrance examination is held by UPSC twice every year.

As far as you are concerned about the eligibility for appearing in CDS entrance examination for joining OTA ( Officer's Training Academy ) which is one of the four wings of CDS then it is as mentioned below:-

* You must hold the nationality of India.

* Your age must lie within 19 years to 25 years.

* You must have completed your graduation in any discipline from a recognized university. Students pursuing the final year of their degree course are also eligible.

* You must satisfy the physical fitness as per the service requirement norms.

So being a Class 12th student and 17 years old girl candidate you are not eligible for appearing in CDS entrance examination as for the same the minimum age required is 19 years and the minimum educational requirement is a graduation degree from a recognized university.

For more details regarding CDS entrance examination, you can refer to the link www.upsc.gov.in
