Yes, you can apply for the CDS exam 2024 but it depends on the academy that you want to opt for. As for the IMS BMAS, INA & AFA, the applicant is age 19-24 years for having been born between 02-01-2001 & 01-01-2006. Nevertheless, for the OTA, the age must be in the range of 19-25 years and you should have been born after January 2, 2000, and before January 1, 2006. As you are born on 21st March 1999 you are complex for the OTA application. The application fee for appearing in the CDS exam is Rs 200 but the SC, ST candidates along with the females are eligible for fee exemption.
