CDS II 2025 Notification Out: Apply Online by June 25

Okay. So, the form is out.

UPSC has released the CDS II 2025 notification. Not with fireworks, not with drumrolls. Just a quiet upload on the website. But for thousands of young people across India, that tiny PDF means everything.

If you’ve ever wanted to become an officer — this is your moment.


“It’s not just about salary. It’s about the salute.”

That’s what Rohan told me, sitting in a broken chair at a coaching centre in Bhopal. He’s 22, thin, serious, and stubborn. He failed last time. He’s applying again.


This CDS exam — the second one of the year — is your chance to join the Army, Navy, Air Force, or OTA. You’ll need guts, brains, and heart. And if you’re reading this at midnight while wondering if you’re good enough, here’s your answer:

Yes. But only if you try.

Real Talk

No, it’s not easy. Yes, it’s worth it.

The paper isn’t your biggest enemy — your self-doubt is. The SSB will break you down and build you back up. And somewhere during that, you’ll know — this uniform, this job, this life… it was made for you.


There’s a line they say at the academy:

“When you choose defence, you don’t just sign up for duty.
You sign up for honour.”

So? What are you waiting for?
