You can take the CDS exam if you meet the age requirement and other UPSC requirements. Unlike other UPSC exams, there is no limit to the number of attempts you can make. To apply for the CDS exam in whichever cycle you are applying to, you must be under the age of 25. There are two exam cycles: January and July. You must be a graduate to apply for the CDS. Also, your age must be less than 24 years for IMA, AFA, and INA. This is 25 years for OTA. As long as you fulfill this criteria, you can apply for the CDS exam.
