Combined Defence Services (CDS) Coaching
For Graduates aiming for the Indian Military Academy, Naval Academy, Air Force Academy, or OTA. Mastering the Written Exam & SSB Psychology.
The Professional Edge
Focused preparation for Graduates who mean business.
To-The-Point Strategy
We respect your time. Our curriculum is stripped of fluff and focused solely on high-yield topics that appear in CDS/AFCAT exams.
Subject Experts
No generalists. Learn History from History post-grads, Polity from experts, and Maths from engineers. Depth matters in CDS.
Flexible Timings
We understand college schedules. Batches are available in mornings and evenings to suit final-year students and working professionals.
Current Affairs Mastery
Daily news analysis and weekly roundups focused on Defence, Geopolitics, and Economy—the backbone of the Written Exam and SSB.
SSB Psych Profiling
Don't wait for the written result. We start building your OLQs (Officer Like Qualities) through weekly interactions and psychology tests.
Precise Study Material
Condensed, high-impact notes. Why read 500 pages of rambling when 50 pages of targeted content can clear the cutoff?

CDS Aspirant FAQs
Do you provide physical training for GTO/PFT?
No. We are a premier institute for Written Exam preparation and SSB Psychological/Interview training. We believe candidates at this age should maintain their own physical fitness. We focus on sharpening your intellect and personality, which are the harder hurdles to clear.
Can final year students apply?
Yes, candidates in the final year of their degree course can apply for CDS, provided they have no backlogs and can submit proof of passing at the time of commencement of the course.
Is there a difference in the English syllabus for OTA vs IMA?
No, the English and GK papers are exactly the same for all candidates. OTA candidates simply skip the Mathematics paper in the afternoon session.
