CDS Age Limit 2026: Check IMA, INA, AFA & OTA Age Criteria
CDS Age Limit: The CDS age limit varies according to the academy. For CDS II 2026, the age requirement was 19–24 years for IMA and INA, 20–24 years for AFA, with the AFA upper limit extendable to 26 years for eligible candidates holding a valid DGCA Commercial Pilot Licence, and 19–25 years for OTA. The exact date-of-birth range mentioned in the UPSC notification must be followed rather than calculating age only from the candidate's current age.
