    Re: Are girls allowed to appear in CDS exam after graduation?

    When you are in 12th,then how are you a medical student?? I suppose you have PCB as subject combination and that makes you a "medical student" in 12th itself.
    For CDS,you will be eligible but only for OTA. Female candidates can apply for only OTA i.e. Officer Training Academy.
    You need to be a graduate from any stream to be eligible for OTA. The age limit required for OTA is 19-25years.
    Females are not eligible for Air Force and Navy and IMA through CDS exam.
    You can anyways get into Airforce through AFCAT.It is conducted by Air Force twice a year. As you do not have Maths then you will be eligible for only Logistics and Administration branch at Ground Duty.The eligiblity is graduation from any stream with above 60% marks and age limit 20-23years.
    Other option is to be REAL medical student if possible and then apply for defence services after your MBBS or even after MD.Doctors in defence services are highly paid in cash and facilities and are very respectable job.
