How to apply for UPSC CDS Application Form

- Read the full official notification before paying anything — eligibility, age limits, qualification and the fee for your category.

- Pay the fee and submit before the last date, then save the confirmation page and printout for your records.
If the official site is slow on release day, that is load, not a fault — it settles within a few hours. There is no alternative "fast link", and anyone offering one is not showing you the official document.
