The UPSC CDS I final merit list 2024 has released by the Union Public Service Commission, or UPSC. The UPSC’s official website, upsc.gov.in, offers candidates who took the Combined Defence Services test the opportunity to view and download the merit list.
590 applicants in all made it to the final list. Of these, 120 are women and 470 are men who will be enrolled in the 35th Short Service Commission Women (NonTechnical) and 121st Short Service Commission Course (Men), which will start in April 2025.

What’s next:
The Army Headquarters will confirm each candidate’s date of birth and educational background; the findings are tentative. Furthermore, the outcomes of medical exams—which were not included in the creation of the merit list—will be very important in determining the candidates’ eligibility. In order to prepare them for their future positions as officers in the Indian Armed Forces, successful candidates will go through a demanding training program at OTA, Chennai.
Beginning 15 days after the results are announced, the UPSC will post marks and other information about those who did not make the final cut on its official website for a duration of 30 days. Candidates who are not recommended may also choose to disclose their performance information on the portal through the Public Disclosure of Scores initiative.
