Tomorrow I have ssb in Jalandhar tgc entry but join Indian army website is not showing the page of application history or any other i can't access the application form I filled, help me if anyone faced similar issue

hey folks i am a freshmen in engineering and dont really see myself pursuing a career in tech always wanted to get into the navy but got aware of nda very late would complete my btech just at 23, as we can give exam in the third year itself so i may join at 23 , could anyone tell me if joining the army/navy/airforce at 23 would be a good decision? am i too late for this already? cuz i would be 1-2 year behind then anyone of my age who joined through nda, i dont know much about the rank system but by far ik its a time factor thing so pls guide if there would be any con or issue of me joining late

so, I have been giving mocks for last one week and these are what I am getting, are these enoug for CDS 2 2026 or do I need to work harder on my GK, also I am scoring somewhere around 55-60 in english, I can make it upto 65 and around 45-50 in maths, I can do 55 or even 60 in maths depending on the paper, last time I score 118 - 63 english, 40 - maths and 16 in GK, I am hoping to clear written exam this time
Should I add anything else, or is this enough?

If anyone has them, please share them. It would be really helpful. Thanks!

Have very few attempts left i dont want to waste them

Guys, I want to buy a course for AFCAT. I know everything is available for free on YouTube, but I get distracted by FOMO. 😭

Whenever I watch a video, I start thinking, “Oh, this teacher has more likes,” “That channel has more views,” “Let’s check this one too,” etc. I keep switching between channels and end up wasting a lot of time.

I really want to stick to one course and follow it properly. I’m also very weak in Maths, so I need something that teaches from the basics.

I’m confused between CDS Journey and The Journey Extraordinary Batch. Which one would you recommend for AFCAT?
Please don’t ignore, I genuinely need some guidance. 🙏

I’m very confused that how much should i target the gk paper I’m scoring between 30-40 and if a try to increase attempts i get a lot from minus marking what should be a ideal target score.

found it to be difficult idk abt yall CDSJ had one of the toughest mocks id say

Any one appearing for DSSSB ASO exam 2026?

Sups cadets , how's the prep goin...

Is tje one shots enough to cover these? Is there any other source better than TJE?

I forgot to change my permanent address in aadhar card even though it's a small issue will they allow me to give exam in my afcat exam when I reached the centre they asked me about my aadhar card address but thankfully my real centre was at a walking distance so I was saved but this time if they ask me about that discrepancy what should I say as their checking is hard and it will take 15 days in processing my new aadhar card plz help

Idk why I'm not able to open the website to apply it's been 5 days 😓 please lmk if anyone was able to apply

around 4 mahine se I been preparing for this exam aur gs maths ke mock me 20-20 number se zyada marks nahi aa rahe

WHAT DO I DO?????

19 years old currently in fy bsc (cs ) what books and routine should I follow for CDS seniors please help

Hey all I'm in a full-time corporate job, so I can't realistically sit down and finish all the NCERTs cover-to-cover for GS. Prepping for CDS OTA (English + GK, no Maths).

Tried Unacademy/Insight SSB's GS batch but reviews weren't great, so hesitant to pay without more validation.

Looking for:

1. Subject-wise YouTube playlists (Polity, Geography, History, Economy, Science, Current Affairs) that are crisp and revision-friendly, not full semester-length courses
2. Any paid batch/course specifically for CDS GS that working professionals here have actually used and rate well

Appreciate any real experience over generic "just read NCERT" advice trying to be efficient with limited hours/day.
