All aspirants must know that there are three different sections/papers in CDSE viz English, General Knowledge, Elementary Mathematics. CDSE is conducted by UPSC twice every year. When comparing CDS 2 2013 from last CDS 2 2012, it was little tougher and also the format of questions has changed in few, this time GK was the toughest in all the three sections.
English: Few might have noticed that the format has changed for few questions, specially synonyms and antonyms were asked differently and was little difficult this time. Overall, paper was quite easier this time, specially the comprehension passages were quite easier like last time.
GK: This section is usually tough, but this time it was more tougher, more general questions based on current affairs, polity, history, surprisingly not much was asked from defence sector like earlier. Overall GK was tough so nothing new in it.Â
Maths: Easy like always, good options for scoring more marks through maths, more trigonometry and arithmetic was asked this time.Â
Overall the paper was moderate and cdse 2013 cut off may go up to 140 Marks for AFA, 125 marks for IMA,  90 for OTA and 115 for NA. Lets wait for the CDS 2 2012 answers key to come up from The Cavalier Coaching Institute for  CDS-1 answer sheet 2013 and CDS 1 2013 cut off.
