The CDS exam centre allotment will be done on a first-come, first-served basis. Candidates are advised to apply early to secure their preferred centre, as the capacity for each centre is limited. Once a centre reaches its maximum capacity, it is frozen, and candidates must choose from the remaining options.

Once allotted, the exam centre cannot be changed. The UPSC does not entertain requests for centre changes after the application submission. Therefore, it’s crucial to choose your exam centre carefully while filling out the application form.
