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

You are advised to appear for NDA exam conducted by UPSC based on your 10+2 results. If you are unable to crack NDA exam then you can again try after graduation degree by appearing in CDS exam. If you appear in CDS after BA, you will be eligible for only non technical branches.
