The CDS examination is conducted twice a year by the Union Public Service Commission (UPSC). The CDS final Cut off is released once the selection process is completed. The CDS 1 cut off release date has not yet been announced by UPSC. 

CDS Cut off for Written Exam

The CDS Cut off for the written exam is divided into two categories: qualifying Cut off and selection Cut off. Candidates must clear the selection Cut off as well as the qualifying Cut off to be selected for the SSB Interview round. The CDS qualifying threshold is 20%. In other words, in order to pass the exam, candidates must score at least 20% in each subject. Qualifying for the CDS written exam, however, does not guarantee selection for the SSB interview round.

CDS Final Cut off

Following the completion of the SSB Interview process, the CDS final Cut off is released. The Cut off is published in the form of the last recommended candidate's marks. The final Cut off for IMA, INA, and AFA is released out of 600 marks, while the CDS OTA Cut off is released out of 400 marks.
