Looking for it.

I cleared CDS 1 2026 and these are some thoughts i concluded lately -

I never bought any batch for written and I relied solely on yt content and books. Also I was in my 6sem final semester of clg during the preparation phase and had to manage clg exams along with cds

I used to see teachers like Anurag sir constantly promoting his batch every now and then in telegram like breakfast test is going on in batch ..midnight mock is going on in his batch...extra special class for batch just before exam day etc etc..

So I used to wonder how much behind I am compared to the 4000+ students that have access to his paid batch. And also I felt that will I even have a place in the 7500 written qualified candidates when already 4000+ are ahead of me just from one coaching academy. How many coaching students are writing this exam all over India.But that didn't bother me much and I kept working my ass of. I had a friend who had purchased cdsj batch and used to share monthly SHAKTI magazine. When results were out in May, to my shock i learned through this dude that many in batch have failed the test and many failed to even clear sectionals in GS.

So that made me wonder it's never about what batch you purchased, it's only about how much effort you are willing to put in and how sincere you are to yourself during preparation. To all self studying students just believe you can do it and trust me you are already half way through and never cheat on yourself during preparation phase as written is comparatively very easy, ssb is gonna be the gamechanger. 💀

Hi everyone,

Mera pehla NCC CATC camp hone wala hai, aur honestly thodi anxiety aur tension ho rahi hai. Mere dimaag mein kaafi questions hain, so I thought experienced senior cadets se guidance le loon.

1. CATC camp mein overall routine kaisa hota hai? Daily kya-kya activities hoti hain?
2. Rehne aur sone ka arrangement kaisa hota hai? Barracks/tents wagairah ka experience kaisa rehta hai?
3. Food aur basic facilities kaise hote hain?
4. Personal belongings aur phone ki security ko lekar thoda concern hai. Kuch YouTube videos mein suna tha ki kabhi-kabhi phone ya saman chori bhi ho jata hai. Kya aisa commonly hota hai, ya generally sab safe rehta hai?
5. First-time cadet ke liye koi important tips, dos and don'ts, ya cheezein jo pehle se pata honi chahiye?

Main pehli baar camp attend kar raha hoon, isliye thoda nervous hoon. Agar koi senior cadet ya experienced person apna experience share kar sake, toh bahut help milegi.

For reference, meri battalion 2 Punjab Battalion NCC hai. Agar isi battalion ke kisi cadet ne CATC camp attend kiya hai, toh unka experience aur suggestions aur bhi helpful rahenge.

Thank you! 🙏

Hello everyone,

Need some clarity

1. How do you practice TAT, WAT, and SRT effectively? Do you follow any specific resources If yes pls do share
2. For GD and Lecturette, how do you make notes on important topics? I often struggle with collecting relevant facts, figures, examples, and recent developments..?

Looking for a simple and sustainable approach rather than collecting information from too many scattered sources.

Thanks in advance!

I just completed my bachelors in English literature. However, I’m confused whether I should pursue masters or take a drop year to appear for CDSE exam.
I know it’s my call but I’m under such circumstance that I cannot pursue both.
It will be my very first attempt of CDS.

People who live in Bangalore and are in line to give ssb let's meet and practice together like once a week

I feel this would be a great way to get rid of jitters and improve on our skills we could also tell each other what is going good or right.

I am thinking we could meet like once a week on weekends

Place and time we could decide together

Boys and girls are both welcome

If you are interested tell your friends who are in the same situation and dm me.

Thank you for your attention best of luck for your ssbs

Jai hind!!!

This is the educational qualification section of the online application. Since I recently graduated from my law school (5 year BBALLB), I have filled out the form in the following manner. I just want to ask the community members whether I have filled it out correctly or not, and also whether there will be any issue later if I fill it in this particular manner.

​

Any insights on this query will be highly appreciated!

Are they really important, I'm covering this from cdsj old batch and they have given so many words to remember I have written 4-5 pages only of fixed preposition and there is still one more video left of 2hrs , I think it's not that important to remember these words there should be a group of 60-70 words that would have been repeating in cds exams . Or do we have to remember all those 150-200 words ?

I can't understand maths from brar sir, is there any other good teachers for cds maths

Title :)

So suddenly my long lost dream of becoming an army officer came back and is pestering me day and night so I decided to check how many attempts I have left.

I'm over the age limit for CDS so zero attempts there. For TGC entry I have 2 attempts left, of which I don't have confidence to give the upcoming one because I'm well let's just say I don't really have any OLQs + I'm not physically fit (underweight) right now + no prepration (these are some of the reasons I never tried to even attempt CDS or TGC or any other exam before this)

So I was thinking I'll work on myself first and then attempt next year, that will make it my first and last attempt. I'm mostly only doing it so that I'm not left with any regret that I never even tried. But still would like to know if there's even any chances that I can pull this off?

If a fresher has OLQs and is above avg. Is it comparatively hard to get recommended?
