The UPSC Combined Defence Services (CDS) Examination is a competitive exam conducted by the Union Public Service Commission (UPSC) for recruitment into the Indian Military Academy, Indian Naval Academy, Indian Air Force Academy, and Officers Training Academy. The CDS (I) exam, held annually, aims to select candidates for various defense services across different branches of the Indian Armed Forces. The examination is typically conducted in two stages: a written test followed by an interview, medical examination, and other selection processes. The written test covers subjects such as English, General Knowledge, and Elementary Mathematics, tailored to gauge candidates’ aptitude and knowledge relevant to the defense services.
The result of the UPSC CDS (I) exam is crucial for candidates aspiring to join the Indian Armed Forces. Upon the declaration of results, successful candidates are shortlisted for the subsequent stages of selection, including interviews conducted by the Services Selection Board (SSB). The results reflect the candidates’ performance in the written test, with cut-off marks determining eligibility for further stages. Successful candidates are then appointed to various defense academies based on their ranks and preferences. The results are eagerly awaited by candidates as they pave the way for potential careers in the Indian defense sector, playing a vital role in shaping the future of the country’s armed forces.
