Yes, you will be considered for OTA (Officers Training Academy) but not for the other services like Indian Air Force, Indian Army, Indian Navy.

CDS (Combined Defence Services) is an examination of three subjects English Language, General Awareness, Mathematics. Each test will be of 100 marks and time will be allotted 2 hours for each test.

In your case you have to appear in English Language and General Awareness only as call for SSB will be based on your score in both the papers.

CDS Cutoff for OTA : Around 76-80 marks.

In CDS examination, the female candidates are allowed to apply for Officer's Training Academy (OTA). Candidates who have passed Bachelor's degree or equivalent course from a Government recognised university and those are unmarried or issueless widows who have not remarried are eligible to apply for CDS OTA examination.

The age criteria required to apply for CDS OTA examination is 19 to 25 years. So, if you have passed Bachelor's degree course in any discipline from a Government recognised university and if you fulfill satisfying the eligibility criteria mentioned above, you are eligible to apply for CDS OTA examination.

CDS refers to Combined Defense Services and for joining same you need to qualify CDS entrance examination which is held by UPSC twice every year in two stages which includes Written Test and SSB ( Service Selection Board ) interview respectively.

Further CDS has four wings which includes Naval Academy (NA), Air force Academy (AFA), Indian Military Academy (IMA) and Officer's Training Academy (OTA).

As far as you are concerned about your eligibility for appearing in CDS entrance examination being a student of medical stream then I would like to let you know that you are eligible for joining IMA and OTA wings of CDS as for these wings there is no requirement of a particular subject at any level of academics. For the other two wings one is required to have pursued Mathematics at your higher secondary school degree and in case of NA you also need to have completed B.Tech/B.E. degree course.

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

Yes mathematics is necessary for CDS exam as maths covers a major portion of entrance exam. Concept from which questions asked is in syllabus of 11th & 12th maths.

Eligibility criteria for CDS exam is :-
12th standard with subjects physics, chemistry, mathematics from a recognised board.
Graduation degree from a recognised university.
Age limit must be between 20-24years.

So you have to take mathematics in 12th standard. No matters it is optional. You can choose maths as optional subject in that way you will fulfil their requirement.

It is not only Maths and Biology. The important thing is that candidate should be from Science stream as because it is compulsory for CDS. If candidate are not from Science stream then he/she will not be eligible to apply for this exam.
