Yes, there is a physical test that is conducted after the CDS written test. During SSB, fitness is tested through some physical activities. Apart from that, there is a separate medical test in which physical parameters such as height, weight, BMI, etc. Are tested. If you do not match the parameters set by the board, you will not be selected for the army through IMA or OTA, even if you have been recommended by the SSB. Therefore, you must carefully read the notification to check if you are meeting all physical fitness criteria set by the Army. Also, you must focus on your fitness during the preparation phase.

You can take the CDS exam if you meet the age requirement and other UPSC requirements. Unlike other UPSC exams, there is no limit to the number of attempts you can make. To apply for the CDS exam in whichever cycle you are applying to, you must be under the age of 25. There are two exam cycles: January and July. You must be a graduate to apply for the CDS. Also, your age must be less than 24 years for IMA, AFA, and INA. This is 25 years for OTA. As long as you fulfill this criteria, you can apply for the CDS exam.
