Based on past performance trends and the exam's degree of difficulty, the anticipated cut-off scores for the CDS 2 2024 exam have been calculated. The expected cut-off scores for the written exam are 139 to 145 for the Air Force Academy (AFA), 112 to 118 for the Indian Naval Academy (INA), and 129 to 135 for the Indian Military Academy (IMA). The anticipated cut-off scores for the Officers' Training Academy (OTA) are 94 to 99 for women and 97 to 103 for males. Due to the modest difficulty of the exam, especially in the General Knowledge component, these projections show a minor decline when compared to previous exams.
