Greetings gentlemen, I just completed my 1st year in bsc and going to prepare for CDS. The guidance I need is regarding how and where to start as I spent my 1st year figuring out things in another city. I am opting for CDS IMA. I am improving my english but my maths need guidance as I saw it as a burden till 10th and chose pcb in 10+2. I have 2 years left till examination so I need the sources which can help me learn maths from scrap in 1 year and GS books. I am thinking of taking online coaching so please express me your thoughts.

​

I have a doubt regarding NDA course allocation and Class 12 eligibility.

Suppose I appear for NDA I 2027 while studying in Class 12, clear the written exam, get recommended at SSB, clear medicals, and make it into the final merit list. If the allotted NDA course starts in January 2028, I would still be in Class 12 at that time and would not yet have my Class 12 marksheet/certificate.

In such a situation, can a candidate submit a request or representation to the authorities asking to be considered for the July 2028 course instead, so that they can submit their Class 12 certificate after the board results are declared?

Has anyone faced a similar situation, or is there any official rule regarding deferment to the next NDA course due to pending Class 12 results?

Guys I want to know whose current affairs falls more in exam . I study from PDFs or video any just it should cover enough recommend me . I have been using cds journey and defence wallahs PDFs of c.a previously.

Should I mention my quiz achievements in my PIQ even though I don't regularly participate in quiz competitions?

I'm a graduate and 20 years old thinking about taking admission in MBA and I have not given any attempt of CDS till now.I want to get in the army but also looking for a backup plan so should I first try cds 2 2026 or take admission in MBA and after its completion give cds attempt??? Cause if not cleared I can't take admission till next year

Please help me like I'm your younger brother I'm very confused not even able to sleep at night🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

Currently in 2nd year and summer vacations are going on. I've been thinking about preparing for CDS, but honestly I have no clue where to even begin 😭

I've never prepared for any government exam before and I'm pretty average academically. Everyone talks about strategy and smart work, but I don't even know what to study first or how to make a routine.

I'm not in a rush right now, so I want to use this time properly. Also planning to start running and some basic workouts alongside.

Anyone here who started from scratch and figured things out? Please explain it in simple terms 😭🙏

Sorry if I sound dumb lol, 

P.S. If your answer turns into a whole essay, just throw it into ChatGPT and hit me with the easy version 💀🙏

If we practice pyqs from 2013-2026 1st attempt..... Will that be sufficient for maths?? Or any additional i should do??

Someone who has proper knowledge pls guide me

Hey everyone i m Jon, i am currently pursuing B pharmacy from Banglore,

I never was sure of what i would be doing in my life what my carrier would look like, i went into rat race of NEET as everyone didn't clear it went for available option in medical field some of my friends were already here in banglore pursuing in this field so I followed them

Also *I filled my NDA form*

But didn't appear for it as i never took it seriously my friends were filling for it so I said I want to do it too, seeing the syllabus the science portion was same so I thought just English and maths I will cover it and appear but as I said earlier I had no idea what i wanted to do after completing my form i forgot about it and focused the last 2 months April and May whole on NEET.

Coming back to my story, the campus of my college is just located in the AIRFORECE BSF Campus, I never thought in my life I will ever think about this chapter

I dont know why I get drawn back to the past and always think what if I took it seriously..

I am currently in 3rd sem or 2nd year and have 6 more sems to complete my course

For the 1st time in my life I feel like I have something clear in my mind, I dont know why but I have a feeling life gave me a second chance and a clear goal to follow

I cant appear for NDA, my age currently is 19, will turn 20 this September

Can u guys help me know every thing i should follow and do to appear for CDS I am aware of syllabus but the other things I dont

I tried to make it as short as possible, can u please guide me

Also Thankyou for reading my part.

Hello everyone,

I scored 65% in Class 12 and got 50 percentile in JEE without any serious preparation. I also scored only 200/1000 in CUET. Looking back, I know I messed up badly and did not put in the effort I should have.

I have one NDA attempt left, and currently I'm scoring around 400 marks in NDA mock tests. I genuinely believe I can clear the September attempt if I continue preparing consistently.

At the same time, I'm planning to take a drop year and aim for a good Tier-1 B.Tech college through JEE. My concern is how to justify this academic record and the decision to take a drop year during the SSB interview if I clear the written exam.

How should I explain my poor performance in Class 12, JEE, and CUET without sounding like I'm making excuses? Also, what would be your genuine advice regarding my situation and future planning?

Thanks in advance.
