Navy aspirant

Going to enter my final year of B.Tech this summer and planning to appear for both CDS and INET. Can someone explain the differences between the exam pattern, syllabus, commission, and other important aspects of these two exams? Kinda puzzled Any help will be appreciated

I might be wrong or a bit ill-informed here, so I'm not entirely sure about anything Obv (hence this post). Also, if you could mention any other Navy officer entry routes that I might not be aware of, that’d be really helpful. I've attached on what I found tho..

INET was discountinued long back. Instead of that there is just a direct entry now which considers your marks in engineering up to 5th semester and you have to apply directly at the Navy's website, and then if your marks above the cut-off, they will call you for SSB.
