No. The CDS 2 2025 answer key will not be the same for all the subjects. As the CDS exam has separate sections for English, general knowledge, and mathematics, all the sections have their own set of questions and corresponding answer key. That is, there will be a separate answer key for each subject within the CDS exam.
The CDS 2 2025 answer key will be released by the Union Public Service Commission (UPSC) on its official website a few days or a couple of weeks after the exam is over. Several coaching institutes may also release the unofficial CDS answer keys shortly after the conduction of an exam.
