    Hello

    YES YOU CAN ATTEMPT BOTH THE CDSE EXAMS IN A YEAR.

    There is no problem in attempting twice CDSE exams in a year.The CDSE has no restrictions in the number of attempts.

    You can attempt it as many times you want to a year,means as many times you want to attempt.

    The only thing you will have to take care off is that your age must not cross the limit,means you can attempt the CDSE as many times within the age limit as declared by the UPSC.
