About the Job / नौकरी के बारे में

The Combined Defence Services exam recruits graduate officers into the Indian Military Academy (Dehradun), Indian Naval Academy (Ezhimala), Air Force Academy (Dundigal), and Officers Training Academy (Chennai). CDS offers a shorter, more intense training path compared to NDA — officers are commissioned within 18 months. The written test covers English, GK, and Elementary Mathematics (for IMA/AFA candidates). Successful candidates face a 5-day SSB interview assessing leadership potential, group dynamics, and psychological fitness. This is an excellent route for graduates who want to serve in the armed forces.

CDS परीक्षा स्नातक अधिकारियों को भारतीय सैन्य अकादमी (देहरादून), भारतीय नौसेना अकादमी (एझिमाला), वायुसेना अकादमी (डुंडीगल) और अधिकारी प्रशिक्षण अकादमी (चेन्नई) में भर्ती करती है। NDA की तुलना में CDS में 18 महीने का गहन प्रशिक्षण होता है। लिखित परीक्षा अंग्रेजी, सामान्य ज्ञान और प्रारंभिक गणित पर आधारित है। सफल उम्मीदवारों को 5-दिवसीय SSB साक्षात्कार से गुजरना होता है जो नेतृत्व क्षमता, समूह गतिशीलता और मनोवैज्ञानिक तत्परता का मूल्यांकन करता है।
