    As you are pursuing B.Com,you are eligible for IMA and OTA for CDS examination.AFA and INA are for those having Physics and Maths at 12th or graduation.
    The age limits for IMA is 19-24 years and for OTA it is 19-25 years. The maximum age limit is at the time of commencement of training after selection and not at the time of applying.
    Final year Graduate candidates are eligible for CDS exam.It would be better to apply while in Final year so that you can apply while in the age limit.You have time in hand.Prepare as well as you can so that you do not waste years.
