Can I Clear CDS Exam 2024 In One Month

CDS preparation has become more demanding due to increased competition. With over 3 lakh students appearing in the CDS exam every year, the merit list has further dropped allowing only a small number of applicants to succeed. In this situation, it seems difficult to pass the CDS exam in one month.

The shortest CDS coaching in Dehradun is for 90 days and this is the minimum time you need to prepare for the highly competitive CDS exam conducted by UPSC. Also, you shouldn’t waste time as you have limited attempts.  

How many attempts are possible in the CDS exam?

UPSC has categorized students into general, SC, ST, and OBC for the CDS exam. General students are allowed a maximum of 6 attempts, OBC students get 9 attempts, and SC/ST students get unlimited attempts. Depending on your category, you can count your attempts. Also, you should keep in mind that a failed attempt is an opportunity lost. 

With every failed attempt in the CDS exam, you will lose your confidence and low confidence will diminish your chances of clearing the competitive exam in future attempts. The best thing you can do to realize your dream of clearing the CDS exam is to make a focused attempt every time.

How to make a focused attempt at the CDS exam?

For CDS, you need to adopt a three-pronged approach – written exam, interview, and medical. The written exam includes general knowledge, English language, and elementary mathematics. The first is the written exam which will be an objective type where you need to choose the right answer from the given options.

SSB interview is conducted in three stages where the selected candidates undergo various mental and psychological tests. It concludes with a group discussion where candidates are provided an opportunity to strengthen their claims to the top posts in defense services. Similarly, a medical examination is conducted to check whether the candidates meet the minimum physical standards for CDS.      

You can start preparations for the written exam with solved papers from previous years and sample question papers. However, you will require mock interviews to prepare for the SSB interview. Similarly, you need to confirm that your physical health meets the medical standards of the CDS exam.

Three months of CDS coaching in Dehradun is the best option to clear the CDS exam in the shortest time possible. Getting training from experts will not only prepare you for the written exam but for the SSB interview and medical test as well.
