The Combined Defence Services (CDS) Exam is one of the most competitive defence entrance tests in India, opening the path to the Indian Army, Navy, and Air Force through the Indian Military Academy (IMA), Officers Training Academy (OTA), Naval Academy (NA), and Air Force Academy (AFA). Every year, hundreds of talented youth from Nagaland appear for the CDS exam with dreams of serving the nation, yet many fail to clear the written test due to avoidable mistakes. The most common errors include ignoring the official CDS syllabus and exam pattern, leading to wasted effort on irrelevant topics or skipping high-weightage areas. Weak preparation in General Studies , especially Indian Polity, Geography, History, and Current Affairs is another major reason for failure among Nagaland aspirants. Many also underestimate the English section, which requires strong comprehension, vocabulary, and grammar skills at a level higher than school exams. Poor time management and unplanned preparation often result in incomplete coverage of the syllabus, while lack of consistent practice in CDS Mathematics reduces both accuracy and speed in the actual paper.
