21F, graduated in CSE/Data Science and preparing seriously for CDS. Academics are 92% in 10th, 65% in 12th during the COVID period, and around 7.5–8 CGPA in engineering.

I don’t have a sports background or major extracurricular achievements, though I have volunteered in college events.

I wanted honest advice:

- Are these academics considered decent for SSB?

- I scored less in 12th compared to 10th, will that affect my chances?

- Does lack of sports background become a major disadvantage in SSB for female candidates?

- Should I focus mainly on CDS preparation right now, or balance it equally with placements/jobs?

Would appreciate genuine guidance from people with experience.
