    There is no fixed pattern for CDS as 10+2+3.You need to be a graduate whether after diploma or after 12th it does not matter.The age limit for CDS varies as per the academy you wish to apply.IMA 19-24years,AFA 19-23years, INA 19-22years and OTA 19-25years. But OTA is the main priority for female candidates and males if apply for OTA will be given preference after the eligible females are selected.Your diploma after 10th will not create any problem if you are having your B.tech but check the age limit.You can also apply through SSC technical of Army or Navy as you are a B.Tech and also for AFCAT Technical branch.The age limits for the Technical branch is 21-27years so you have a better chance in that and also the vacancies are also for only B.tech holders rather than for all graduates like in CDS.All the best.

    As per the criteria there is a need to of graduate in any discipline to apply for the CDS examination.
    As you said that you have diploma in technology then you need to apply for the NDA examination because this is equivalent qualification as class12th. so you are able to apply for the NDA examination after the diploma.
    Here is the eligibility criteria for the NDA examination as follows-
    NDA stands for the national defence academy.
    Examination is conducted twice in a year to select the candidates in any of the three branches if defence services like indian army, air force and indian navy .
    Your age should be 16.5 to 19 years of age to apply for the same.
    You should not have any criminal records.
    You must be male and unmarried.
    girls are not eligible to apply for the same.
    here is the selection procedure-
    Written test
    SSb interview.
    medical examination for the final selection.

    thank you.

    hi
    I am sorry to say but you are not eligible of giving the NDA exam unless you are not appeared or given the senior secondary exam.
    For giving the NDA exam, you need to be a 12th class pass or appeared and your age should be in between 16.5-19 years.
    The exam is conducted by the upsc twice in an yeat.
    Gud luck
