We get a lot of questions from aspirants who are confused on some aspects of form filling. The forms which we are talking about here are the written exam forms, like CDSE, AFCAT and NDA and direct entry forms as well. Let us see some common problems and questions related to these:
FAQ’s related to filling of CDS, AFCAT and NDA Forms
- Can I fill another form if I make mistake in one form?
Yes you can fill another form, in case you have accidentally made a mistake in your current form. All you need is a different email ID. They don’t accept forms from same email ID more than once. However be very careful while filling up your form, try to avoid any mistakes.
- Do I need to inform the authority about filling up two forms?
No you don’t need to inform the concerned authority about the fact that you have committed some mistakes in your form or you have filled up another form. All you need to do is to fill up a new form with a different email ID.
- Will it create a problem if I fill up two forms?
You are a single person with no alias, so you can’t be present at two places together. If you have filled up two forms correctly, then too you can go only for one. If you have committed a mistake and then filled up another form, go for the one (Take admit card) which is correct filled. It doesn’t create a problem.
- I have committed a mistake in my form, what should I do?
Many candidates make mistakes in their form, like filling up incorrect percentage, or giving some other preference of branch.

Uncheck the ‘maintain aspect ratio’ option. Now enter the required pixel size.
- Is it compulsory to have a colored admit card?
