    Hello

    You have some wrong ideas.Let me tell you that CDSE is not the entry for the female candidates for pilot training.CDSE allows you to apply for IMA(Indian Military Academy)-a entry for army,OTA(Officers Training Academy)-a entry for army,AFA(Air Force Academy)- a entry for air force,NA(Naval Academy)-a entry in navy.

    Now in order to get the training of pilot in Air Force,one will have to apply for CDSE(AFA).But only male candidates are applicable for CDSE(AFA).You can not apply for same.In fact CDSE allows female candidate to apply for only OTA,and no other academy,you are only eligible for OTA through CDSE being female.

    But the training of pilot is provided only in AFA,as a female candidate to get entry as a pilot,you will have to apply for AFCAT(Air Force Common Admission Test).
    AFCAT is a entry for both male and female,it will take you in AFA.
    The qualification required is graduation from any stream but with physics and maths in 10+2.Age limit is 19 to 23 years(at the time of commencement of the course).
    You need to have 60% to apply for AFCAT.
