Yes, you can apply for the CDS exam 2024 but it depends on the academy that you want to opt for. As for the IMS BMAS, INA & AFA, the applicant is age 19-24 years for having been born between 02-01-2001 & 01-01-2006. Nevertheless, for the OTA, the age must be in the range of 19-25 years and you should have been born after January 2, 2000, and before January 1, 2006. As you are born on 21st March 1999 you are complex for the OTA application. The application fee for appearing in the CDS exam is Rs 200 but the SC, ST candidates along with the females are eligible for fee exemption.

You would be eligible to take the CDS (Combined Defence Services) exam in April 2025 if you were between the ages of 20 and 24 on January 1, 2025. You would be 24 years old in December 2024 because your birthday is December 15, 2000, hence you would be eligible to apply for the CDS exam in April 2025.

Based on past performance trends and the exam's degree of difficulty, the anticipated cut-off scores for the CDS 2 2024 exam have been calculated. The expected cut-off scores for the written exam are 139 to 145 for the Air Force Academy (AFA), 112 to 118 for the Indian Naval Academy (INA), and 129 to 135 for the Indian Military Academy (IMA). The anticipated cut-off scores for the Officers' Training Academy (OTA) are 94 to 99 for women and 97 to 103 for males. Due to the modest difficulty of the exam, especially in the General Knowledge component, these projections show a minor decline when compared to previous exams.
