    Pre final year candidates are not eligible for CDS.
    One has to be a graduate or in final year of graduation to be eligible for CDS exam.
    Through CDS you can gain entry into IMA,OTA,INA or AFA.
    If you want to join defence services in pre final year,you can try for UES i.e. University Entry Scheme for B.Tech candidates.
    You can check all details regarding UES on the respective websites of Air Force or Navy or Army at the following links:

    DEAR ASPIRANT

    No pre final year students are not eligible for CDS exam. Only final year and graduation completed students are eligible.

    At that time your age shoul not exceed 24 years make sure.

    Re: Are pre final year B.Tech students eligible for CDS exam?

    No there is no chances for the prefinal year candidates for the CDs examination so it will be better for you to remove the idea to go for the CDS right now because there will be no chances right now.
    If you want to go for the CDS examination then you need to have graduation in any discipline from a recognised university because graduation is the best thing to apply for the same.
    If you are in the final year examination then also you can apply for the CDS exam, all you need to do is to show the proof to the verification at the time of the selection that you have completed graduation.
    If you like to see the eligibility criteria for the examination then it is as follows-
    Age limit-
    19 to 22 years for the indian navy.
    19 to 23 years for the air force academy.
    19 to 24 years for the indian millitary academy.
    19 to 25 years for the officers training academy.
    Selection procedure for the same will be like this-
    Written examination.
    SSB interview.
    Medical examination.
    Physics and maths for air force and navy.
    Any other discipline for the indian army.
    For more details log on to www.upsc.gov.in
    Thank you.
