Questions related to AFCAT

Have a question related to AFCAT ?

So, you've cleared all the AFCAT stages? That's fantastic news and a huge step towards becoming a commissioned officer in the Indian Air Force! Now, what's next on this exciting journey? Let's break it down:

1. AFSB (Air Force Selection Board Testing): If you aced the AFCAT written exam, expect a call letter inviting you to the AFSB interview. You could be heading to Dehradun, Mysuru, Gandhinagar, or Varanasi – exciting, right? This isn't just a quick chat; the AFSB evaluation is a pretty intense five-to-six-day process designed to really see if you've got what it takes for a career in the IAF. It's split into two stages:

Stage I: This is the initial screening. You'll face the Officer Intelligence Rating Test and the Picture Perception and Discussion Test (PPDT). How you perform here decides if you move on to Stage II, so bring your A-game!

Stage II: Made it through Stage I? Awesome! Now, over the next few days, get ready for:

Psychological Tests: These are written tests designed to evaluate the psychological attributes that are essential to military service.

Group Testing: Think indoor and outdoor activities designed to see how well you lead, work in a team, and handle the physical demands.

Personal Interview: A one-on-one with an interviewing officer. They'll be looking at your motivation, how aware you are, and if you're truly suited for a career in the IAF. Be prepared to talk about yourself and why you want this!

Computerized Pilot Selection System (CPSS): Aiming for the Flying Branch? This test is all about figuring out your pilot training aptitude.

2. Medical Examination: If the AFSB gives you the thumbs up, it's time for a thorough medical exam. This happens either at the Air Force Central Medical Establishment (AFCME) in New Delhi or the Institute of Aviation Medicine in Bengaluru. They need to make sure you meet the IAF's strict medical and fitness standards – no cutting corners here!

3. Merit List and Commissioning: Finally, an All India Merit List is compiled. This is based on your performance in the AFCAT written exam, the AFSB assessments, and those medical results. Where you land on this list, combined with how many vacancies there are in different branches, determines if you'll get joining instructions.

If you're selected, you'll report to a training academy, like the Air Force Academy in Dundigal, Hyderabad, and begin your training. Successfully complete that, and you'll be commissioned as an officer in the IAF – ready to start that distinguished career serving our nation! J

ust remember, Charanidhi, the AFCAT selection process is super competitive. Meeting the basic requirements doesn't guarantee you a spot. So, prep hard for each stage, and keep an eye on the official IAF recruitment channels for any updates. Best of luck!

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

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).

    I hope it helps!

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
