Hello

CDSE(OTA)-Combined Defense Service Examination(Officer Training Academy).

OTA is different from IMA,in the sense that OTA only provides short service commission where as IMA offers permanent commission.

CDSE exam papers.

English.
General Knowledge.
Elementary Mathematics

The syllabus is all class 10 syllabus,candidates would be able to answer them even without much trying for it.

English and General Knowledge are the only two subjects for CDSE(OTA) exam.
Where as this is not the case with IMA.

CDSE(IMA) have three papers to be examined.
English,General Knowledge and Elementary Mathematics.

But syllabus of CDSE(IMA) and CDSE(OTA) of common papers are same that is English and General Knowledge.
