You are not qualified to qualify for the CDS (Combined Defence Services) exam in 2021 based on your birthdate of July 25, 1997. For the majority of entries, the age limit for CDS is often between 19 and 24 years old. You may have been qualified because you would have turned 24 in 2021; but, eligibility is also dependent on other variables like educational background and other entry requirements. Make careful to verify the most recent eligibility requirements and dates for CDS tests in the future.

Candidates who wish to join the Indian Air Force's Flying Branch must normally meet certain educational requirements before taking the CDS (Combined Defence Services) or AFCAT (Air Force Common Admission Test). For both tests, a candidate must have at least 60% in their Bachelor's degree and have completed 10+2 with Physics and Mathematics as obligatory courses. Because you have less than 50 marks in 12th Maths and Physics, you may not match the Indian Air Force's basic eligibility requirements. Check the official CDS and AFCAT websites for the most up-to-date eligibility requirements, or call their helplines for clarification.
