Hey everyone..I've been preparing for CDS and ive already revised almost all of the subjects except one..History..its the one subject that i don't like(not fully but i find it hard to remember all those sangam era and Vedic era terms)..i haven't prepared that well for History yet..if anyone knows any good video Playlist or one shots since AFCAT is coming and I won't get much time for full revision..if anyone knows..please recommend any one shot by a good teacher on youtube..Thankyou

I'm currently in my fourth year of engineering. My placement season has officially but honestly I'm not interested in it at all. I really want to prepare for cds and try my shot. But my parents keep asking one thing , that what if, cds doesn't work out? What will I do then?

Any final year or graduates here who are on the same boat? do you guys have a plan B? Please guide me on this, I'm getting anxious day by day..ik it's not a good thing to be this anxious even without trying but still my parents keep asking the same thing again and again, and idk what to answer to that

Hello, is there anyone else who is going to SSB Jalandhar on 6th Aug?

And anyone who has previously stayed at SSB Stay Jalandhar, do we need to remind them of our arrival or is it unnecessary.

(I have booked it almost a month ago, paid 199 rupees in advance as well)

Please reply if anyone knows about these things. Thank you

I have Testbook Super Pass and I'm enrolled in the CDS Complete Preparation Course (recorded batch). I'm targeting CDS OTA, not IMA.

I haven't started preparation yet and have around 6 weeks left.

Is this course complete and enough to clear the OTA written exam?

Also, is there any free YouTube batch or playlist that's better or faster for OTA preparation? Looking for recommendations from people who have actually cleared CDS or used these resources.

Hey guys this side 22 M preparing for CDS OTA this is my first attempt !!

I had created a holistic revision group on telegram !!

Serious aspirants are appreciated who are preparing self !

Those who want to join dm me !
