Madras Defence Academy

We are proud to introduce Operation Bodhi – The Defence Scholarship Test, an initiative by Madras Defence Academy, designed exclusively for students and graduates aged 19 to 25 years who aspire to join the Indian Armed Forces through the CDS (Combined Defence Services) Examination.

Every year, thousands of bright minds aspire to earn the stars on their shoulders — yet only a few make it, not because others lack potential, but because they lack the right preparation and structure. Operation Bodhi bridges that gap — offering an opportunity to assess, strengthen, and accelerate their path to a life of discipline, leadership, and national service.
