Re: Is it necessary to have Maths in class 12th and Graduation to apply for CDS exam? Can A biology student also apply?

math at the +2(intermediate) level to be eligible to apply for the CDS exams.
If you meant to say,that biology was your main subject,and maths was an additional,then you can surely apply.
BUT,if maths was NOT included in the list,in CDS exam question paper with consists maths paper and also question related to physics will also be there so if you have these subjects then only you can apply for the upsc exam

• For Indian Military Academy/Officers' Training Academy: Degree from a recognized university or equivalent
• For Naval Academy: B.Sc. with Physics & Mathematics or Bachelor of Engineering

dear aspirant the mathematics paper of the upsc Combined Defense Services Examination (CDS) is of 10th level. it is not necessary to have mathematics as subject in graduation or in12th.

also according to the eligibility criteria for the upsc Combined Defense Services Examination (CDS) you just need to be graduate in any stream from a recognized university under UGC.

but if you are applying for this exam to join INDIAN AIR FORCE the you need physics ,mathematics as subjects in your graduation period.

for IMA(Indian Military Academy) And OTA(Officer's Training Academy) student should have passed Graduation from a recognized university .

Age for
IMA 19-24 years
OTA 19-25 years
IAF 19-22 years

OBC and SC/ST category gets an age relaxation of3 years and 5years respectively.

Hi dear
The CDS (Combined Defense Services Exam) has different minimum academic eligibility conditions for different academy's.
The academic eligibility criteria for them is:-
For IMA and OTA :- Degree of a recognised University or equivalent.
For Naval Academy :- Degree in Engineering
For Air Force Academy :- Degree of a recognised University (with Physics and Mathematics at 10+2 level) or Bachelor of Engineering.
So you will be eligible for IMA and OTA if you also satisfy the other eligibility conditions.

Dear student,
Its very important to have PHYSICS and MATHEMATICS at the +2(intermediate) level to be eligible to apply for the CDS exams.
If you meant to say,that biology was your main subject,and maths was an additional,then you can surely apply.
BUT,if maths was NOT included in the list of your subjects at the intermediate level,then sorry but you are not eligible to apply.
You can definitely try for the other fields,BUT NOT THIS.

Good luck !!
