    Re: Is there any difference between CDS I and CDS II?

    no dear , there is no such big difference in CDS-1 and CDS-2 exam.
    the exam pattern , the syllabus and exam eligibility etc every thing is the same.

    the only difference in the two exam is that the CDS-1 exam is conducted prior to CDS-2 exam in April month and the CDS -2 exam is conducted in September/August month.

    the age limit and the education qualification needed for both the exam is the same.


    good luck

    But the CDS-I Exam is conducted in the month of February whereas the CDS-II Exam is conducted in the month of September every year.

    In 2013 , the CDS-I Exam has already been conducted so i have mentioned the Examination Schedule of CDS-II Exam 2013 :

    - Last Date For Receipt Of Applications : 24-06-2013

    Simply no pricey there isn't any variance by any means in CDS - My partner and i along with CDS - II because examination pattern, to be eligible criteria along with choice process is very very same for pieces that is why there isn't any variance has experienced along with if you wants to get this examination subsequently you should have next to be eligible criteria

    Native american Military Academy : Customer should have taken a new 4-year college level in a different willpower originating from a identified college along with get older should not be fewer than 19 decades and more than 24 decades

    Native american Naval Academy : Customer should have taken a new 4-year college level in a different willpower of design originating from a identified college along with get older should not be fewer than 19 decades and more than 22 decades

    Native american Air Force : Customer should have taken a new 4-year college level having math along with science for a compulsory subject matter originating from a identified university.both advisors are the same as the exam pattern and also the syllabus will be very same

    Re: Is there any difference between CDS I and CDS II?

    Hello

    There is no difference between CDSE(I) and CDSE(II),both the exams are equal.
    It is just that CDSE is conducted twice in a year,as it is conducted twice it is called as CDSE(I) and CDSE(I) for that year.

    Now that is the only difference,otherwise no difference at all.
    As exam is conducted twice it is abbreviated as such.
