    Hello Dude ...


    C.D.S -- COMBINED DEFENSE SERVICES


    As you born on 1989 ... I made Calculations

    As per my calculation you have completed 24 years by the 23 rd Jan 2013

    So your age is more than required

    And so you are not eligible to apply friend


    The First selection process is Written Test

    Next Interview



    VERY GOOD LUCK

    Hello

    NO YOU ARE NOT ELIGIBLE FOR AIR FORCE ACADEMY THROUGH CDSE.

    CDSE is a entry for all three wings ,it allows entry in air force through Air Force Academy.
    But the age limit for CDSE(AFA) is 19 to 23 years(BUT AT THE TIME OF COMMENCEMENT OF THE COURSE,NOT AT THE TIME OF APPLYING FOR THE COURSE).

    The age limit mentioned above is applicable when the course id due to commence,but not at the time of applying for the course.
    Actually CDSE has three stage of selection
    1)Written exam.
    2)SSB(Service Selection Board) interview.
    3)Medical Fitness.

    Now it takes exactly time of 1 year to complete all the procedure of selection,hence it is required that when you apply you must have one year extra in hand.As through the procedure of selection,it will take 1 year extra.

    Now your age at current is 23 years+,when the course will start you will be of 24 years +,making you ineligible to apply.
    When you apply your age must be between 18 to 22 years,so that when the course will commence you will be well within the criteria.

    A old notification of CDSE is uploaded for your reference,along with that please visit the website of air force

    Hi

    Your age for the CDS exam must be 19-24 years.

    But your age is passed away from the required age because you crossed the maximum age limit of 24 years for the CDS exam.

    So you are not eligible for the CDS exam.

    There is no age relaxation in CDS exam.


    Thank you....

    The age limit required for appearing in CDS exam for Airforce i.e. AFA is 19-23years.As your age is over 23 years you are unfortunately not eligible for AFA.You can apply for IMA or OTA if you wish as these have age limit of 24 and 25years respectively.At your age you are ineligible for both Air force and Navy through CDS.
