Union Public Service Commission has given big news for the youth who are dreaming of becoming officers in the army. UPSC has released the final result of Combined Defense Services Examination (CDS-I) 2025. With this result, the wait of those candidates who had passed the difficult stages like written examination, SSB interview and medical test is over. A total of 535 candidates have been declared finally successful in the merit list released by the Commission.
This time in the CDS-I result, along with men, women have also performed brilliantly. The successful candidates include 473 men and 62 women. All these candidates have been selected for admission to different courses of the Officers Training Academy (OTA) of the Indian Army. This selection has been made for the 123rd Short Service Commission (Men) course and 37th Short Service Commission (Women, Non-Technical) course.
UPSC has clarified that this result has been prepared after the interview and medical examination conducted by the Service Selection Board i.e. SSB of the Defense Ministry. After being successful in the written examination, the candidates were called for SSB interview, where their personality, leadership ability, mental strength and team work were tested. After this, through medical test it was seen whether the candidates are physically fit for army service or not.
However, the Commission has also informed that the candidature of the selected candidates is still temporary i.e. provisional. This means that all their necessary investigations are yet to be completed. The birth certificate of the candidates, documents related to educational qualification and other important documents will be scrutinized by the Army Headquarters. If any deficiency or mistake is found in the documents at any stage, the candidature can also be cancelled.
