The age criteria of IMA through CDS-2023 is given below. Unmarried male candidates born not earlier than 2nd January, 1999 and not later than 1st January, 2004 only are eligible. Because your DOB is 27 Sep 1999 so you are eligible for IMA.

No, the NCC Certificate is not mandatory to join the IMA. The eligibility criteria of the IMA specify that you must be:
1. A graduate of a recognised university CDS entry).
2. Unmarried male candidate
3. Between the ages of 19 and 24 years, depending on the January or July batch. In the SSB stage, the NCC Certificate may give you an advantage in getting recommended. However, this Certificate is not mandatory to apply for IMA. You can either join IMA through an NDA or CDS exam. After passing the 12th grade, you can apply to the NDA and after a three-year training programme, you will join the IMA.

The minimum age requirement to join the IMA is 19 years old via the NCC. There is no NCC Special Entry for IMA, but approximately 25 seats are reserved for NCC C Certificate holders. This applies to the January and July terms, I. e. , the total of 50 seats. For this, you have to appear in the CDS exam like other applicants. The age and other criteria are the same for NCC-C Certificate holders as for general candidates. This means you must be between the ages of 19 and 24. Also, you must have graduated from a recognised university.

If you want to have a long-term career in the army, then IMA is a better choice, whereas if you just want to live in the army for a few years, then OTA is better.
1. The basic difference between IMA and OTA is that the Indian Military Academy is for permanent commissioned officers who will serve up to 30 years, whereas the Officer Training Academy, Chennai, is for short-service commissioned officers who can serve up to 14 years maximum in the army. Hence, you will have the option of leaving the army after your compulsory service of ten years as an SSC officer in OTA.
2. Also, those who don't like mathematics can skip the compulsory mat

Yes you can change to other branch in second year. But this is possible only if you are purchasing B. Tecg marine engineering in any of the VTU or state approved colleges. But if you are studying in DGSHIPPING approved colleges, then it's not possible. As per your questions I imagine you are studying in State approved University. So, yes you can change.

The minimum qualification for CDS is graduation in any of the stream/course. Also, B.Sc. In Mathematics is completely theoretical, if you are thinking that what you'll study in graduation will help you in CDS examination, well this is not the case. The syllabus for both is completely different.
