Hello aspirant,
The eligibility requirements for AFCAT included age, educational attainment, nationality, and health standards. Candidates must meet these requirements in order to apply for the exam; otherwise, their applications will be denied. The AFCAT eligibility criteria state that candidates must be between the ages of 20 and 24 and that graduation is the required educational background for this exam.
As you will be 23 years old in 2027, you are eligible for this exam.
Thank you
Sajal Trivedi 12 September,2024
A minimum of 50% marks each in Physics and Mathematics at the 10+2 level and a minimum of three years of graduation degree (or appearing for the final semester exam) with 60% marks from a recognized university.
Since you have completed your B.Sc. with Botany, Zoology, and Environmental Science, and are confident of passing with over 60%, you meet the educational qualifications for the Flying Branch in AFCAT 1 2025.
-
Ground Duty (Technical):
This requires a four-year engineering degree or an equivalent qualification with minimum marks as specified for each role. Your B.Sc. wouldn't qualify for this branch.
-
Ground Duty (Non-Technical):
This has openings for graduates from any stream, including your B.Sc. However, there might be specific requirements for each post (e.g., minimum marks, specific degrees preferred).

Hello,
Yes, you are eligible to sit for the Combined Defence Services (CDS) and Air Force Common Admission Test (AFCAT) exams provided you meet certain criteria. For CDS, you need a degree from a recognized university for Indian Military Academy (IMA) and Officers' Training Academy (OTA), and for the Air Force Academy (AFA), you need a degree with Physics and Mathematics at the 10+2 level or a Bachelor of Engineering. The age limits for CDS are 19–24 years for IMA and INA, 19–24 years for AFA, and 19–25 years for OTA. For AFCAT, you need a graduation degree with at least 60% marks and Physics and Mathematics at the 10+2 level for the Flying Branch, or a B.E./B.Tech degree for Ground Duty (Technical), and a three-year graduation degree with 60% marks for Ground Duty (Non-Technical).
The age limits for AFCAT are 20–24 years for the Flying Branch and 20–26 years for Ground Duty. Since you are pursuing a B.P.Ed and have completed 10+2 with science, you meet the basic educational qualifications, provided you also meet the age and other specific criteria.
Hope this helps,
Thank you
