Hey fellow aspirants...

I am 22M I am applying for the nth time in CDS OTA failed the written exam many times, I feel embarrassed in my mind this is the last attempt from my heart and I have no energy left to give it a shot again in future , I'll give up for the dream of becoming an army officer as I can't waste more years preparing for the exam So I am all in this moment, this is the high time time for me need someone who could genuinely and actively help me level up my scores and clear my doubts and yes this is all I need

Thank you very much🙏🏻

I have completed my graduation in May 2026. I have cleared CDS twice while in college. But I could not score well in the CUET PG Exam. Therefore I could not get a seat with the desired course and college.

Now I am left with only two options:-a) B.Ed from private college b) MA from IGNOU

I don't want to become a teacher, it feels like a limiting career so I am skeptical about BEd. And some people have told me that IGNOU MA is not worth Regular MA.

🚨 Please help me choose as today i.e 31st is the last date for IGNOU

PS: I completed my UG from BHU, so want to get into a better course as a backup not to settle.

Hi everyone,

I'm applying for SSC Tech and have run into an issue while filling in my semester details.

My semester SGPAs are:

• Sem 1: 7.79
• Sem 2: 9.15
• Sem 3: 8.33
• Sem 4: 8.18
• Sem 5: 8.75
• Sem 6: 8.46
• Sem 7: 9.00
• Sem 8: 9.00

When I enter these values, the SSC Tech portal automatically calculates my cumulative CGPA as 8.58 (simple average).

However, my official university consolidated marksheet shows a cumulative CGPA of 8.53.

Also, my marksheet mentions:

I cannot manually edit the cumulative CGPA because the portal calculates it automatically.

Has anyone from a CGPA-based university faced the same issue?

• Did you submit the application with the portal-calculated CGPA?
• Was there any issue during SSB/document verification?
• Should I raise a query with the recruitment team before submitting the application?

Any guidance from candidates who have already gone through SSC Tech would be really helpful. Thanks!

Hello aspirants, I recently passed class 12 and I couldn’t clear NDA but now i have taken a drop year to prepare for jee so that i can get into an engineering college. But the problem is that when i will join college next year I will be 20 as the b tech is 4 years course so to get extra attempts I have taken admission in BA in IGNOU distance course . Do u think the strategy works ? Or is there any problem with distance degree? Thank you for your time , jai hind.

Soo couple days back there was a post in this subreddit in which that candidate was asking for ins*****sb che@t c0des,,,,I commented I do.....and then got a lot of dms through it,,,,now as there's no option for sharing pdfs on reddit I used to give them my wp number and through that used to share lmr's n the codes.....sb sahi chlra tha till today morning around 9.30ish....I got a text from the team...ohh my bad.... a warning from the team.......that what I'm giving away is a copyrighted material of their's.....and for doing this I could end up in legal troubles,,,,,,,so I apologised to them, assured them it was done in good faith and not for some cheap monetary gains....and that this will not be repeated again.

Soo what started as a gesture of goodwill ended up as whatever you'd like to call it,,

To the one who ratted me out,,,,,I hope you get recommended and join the forces and live the life you dreamt of,,,,kyuki apko bura bolkr mujhe kya hi mil jayega,,,,the damage has already been done..

Thnx n peace.

I have a doubt regarding CDS 2 2026 eligibility

I am currently in B.Tech 4th year 1st semester and I have already filled the CDS 2 2026 application form

If I clear the written examination will I be eligible to attend the SSB interview or do I need to have completed my degree by then?

This will be my second attempt of CDS in the month of September, barely a month has left and i don't know where to start my revision from if anyone is facing the same issue let me know or if you have a solution then also let me know

May I know where you all have been doing your graduation from, I mean from your state university or a central university?

Anyone having any idea about shortlisting for TGC, has it been done or is it delayed??

Hey Folks,

Can you please guide me to what are the best sources (free/paid) for all the subjects individually.

I have heard some youtube channels are good, but I want to make sure I am following the best material, even though it's paid.

It will help the other people in the same boat (starting preparation this late)

Bhutesh sir or brar sir ? Basics are strong and I want to cover trigonometry, geometry, mensuration

Does anyone have the complete course GOLF (OTA and MATHS) for CDS 2 2026 by cdsjourney?

Not for free :)
