After clearing CDS you can continue with your regular studies until you join training at IMA or OTS. Once you join training at IMA or OTS, you may continue with your studies on completion of your cadet training as external a candidate. You may not get any leave to appear for examination after training starts. You can appear in exams as external candidates during official breaks or holidays in training. Once, you get commission, you can take necessary approvals from your Commanding Officer to continue with further education.

Hi Gaurav,
The next step after clearing the CDS examination is to prepare for SSB (Service Selection Board). The Ministry of Defense undertakes the SSB Interview to evaluate prospective candidates for recruitment in the Army, Navy and Air Force.
The benchmarks on which the candidates are assessed include intelligence, personality, compatibility, and potential. Hence, mental preparation holds prominence over physical preparation, although physical fitness will be an added advantage.
The five-day personality and intelligence test schedule is as under:
Day 1: Basic Intelligence Test
Day 2: Psychological Test
Day 3 & Day 4: The Group Testing O
