For UPSC civil Service Exam you have to complete at least graduation from any recognized university till that you will not eligible for the exam .

For NDA exam you are eligible but you should follow the below criteria .

=> your age should be between 16.5-19 years old .
=> you should complete the 12th from any recognized board .

So you can eligible for the NDA exam only , for the other exam like Civil Service Exam and CDS exam you have to complete the graduation at least without that you can't allow for giving the exam .
