    If you do not want to join the indian air force and navy then no need to worry just leave those option aside and just concentrate on the IMA and the OTA examination which is the part of the CDS examination. Those who like to get into the indian army choose these options to get into the defence services.
    So if you like to vhoose the options IMA and OTA then its very nice because OTA does not want the maths.
    It will be easier than other written exam.
    Well according to the UPSC you need to fulfill the eligibility criteria for the CDS examination as follows-
    Qualification-
    Graduate in any discipline from a recognised university can apply for the indian army.
    graduate in physics and maths or engineering can apply for the indian air force and navy also.
    Age limit-
    19 to 22 years for the indian navy.
    19 to 23 years for the air force.
    19 to 24 years for IMA.
    19 to 25 years for OTA.
    Candidates should be unmarried male or female.
    Selection procedure-
    Written test.
    SSB interview.
    Medical examination.
