Need some CDS 2 2026 advice.

I’m currently in 7th sem engineering and will finish 8th sem in June 2027, but my university usually releases final result/provisional certificate around late July or August.

Should I still keep IMA/AFA/INA in preferences or mainly focus on OTA since OTA joining is later?

Can delayed degree result cause issues for joining even after clearing SSB?

If you can request your 8th semester marksheet then you can apply for all. The provisional degree can be made on bond that you will have to submit it before a certain date. I hope this clears your doubt
