    There is no percentage criteria for CDS. You need to have pass marks as minimum to be eligible for CDS. Being a female candidate you will be eligible for only OTA in CDS. You need basic graduation degree with no restriction on marks.
    As a female candidate from Technical background,you can also apply for SSC Technical for Army or AFCAT Technical for Airforce. There you can make use of your technical knowledge and the age limit is also higher.Moreover it is your only way to enter Indian Air Force through AFCAT as CDS does not allows females for Air Force.
    For AFCAT 60% aggregate in B.Tech is compulsory.
    Check out the details of SSC Technical and AFCAT at respective sites of Army and Airforce at the following links:

    dear aspirant,


    the good news for you is that there is no percentage bar recommend by UPSC for CDS exam. The CDS exam is conducted by UPSC for the posts in INA, IAFA, IMA and OTA. Being a female candidate you can only apply for OTA. in other three INA, IAFA and IMA only men can apply.

    OTA stands for Officers training academy. you have to prepare well to crack the exam.

    for CDS OTA you need to complete or studying in final year of graduation from recognized college or university.

    your age should be within 19 years to 25 years. there is no relaxation in age for any category.

    you have to apply for the exam online:

    Re: Percentage criterion for officer post in Army through CDS exams?

    Dear friend,
    there is no percentage criteria fixed by UPSC for eligibility criteria in CDS(Combined Defence Services) so there is no need to worry about your percentage in graduation.But at time of applying for CDS you should have either completed your graduation or you are in final year of your graduation.

    Besides your being a girl candidate is not going to hinder your aspirations and pursuit for clearing CDS examination.Rest assured you are equal to any other boy candidate in clearing CDS examination on grounds of opportunities.

    I hope my suggestions are of any help to you.

    Thank you and all the best

    No female candidates are not eligible to give CDS Exam for officers posts in Army.

    Only unmarried male candidates are allowed to give CDS Exams for Army, Indian Naval and Air force academies.

    As you are a female candidate, you are eligible for OTA Post.

    For OTA Post, female candidates who have any degree or equivalent from recognized University are eligible.

    And also candidate must have more than 19 years and less than 25 years, there is no upper age relaxation for these posts.

    At present, as you are in 3rd year of your engineering degree, you are not eligible now to give this exam.

    Final year candidates are eligible to give this exam.
