hi,

If AFCAT officials have clearly said they need a certificate and not just your marksheet , they’re most likely asking for your degree certificate — the official proof that you’ve completed your graduation. The marksheet alone only shows your scores, but not that you've actually passed the entire course.

If you haven’t received your original degree certificate yet, you can try submitting a provisional certificate . Most colleges or universities provide this after the final results are out. It’s usually accepted as a temporary replacement for the actual certificate.

If even the provisional certificate isn’t available, you can ask your college to issue a bonafide letter or a course completion letter saying that you’ve successfully completed your degree and the certificate is pending. Sometimes, that’s accepted too.

But the best and safest thing to do is contact the AFCAT helpdesk and clearly explain your situation. Ask if they will accept a provisional certificate or any temporary proof for now. They usually guide you well.

Hello there,

Yes, you can become eligible for the AFCAT Flying Branch by adding Mathematics to your 12th qualification.

Here’s what you can do:

• You must have passed 10+2 with Physics and Mathematics, each with at least 50% marks, to be eligible for the Flying Branch.

• Since you studied PCB, you can take Mathematics as an additional subject through NIOS or any other recognized board.

• NIOS offers the option to appear for a single subject. Although they provide only a marksheet and not a full certificate, the marksheet is valid and recognized.

• To ensure eligibility, complete your graduation with at least 60% marks and submit both your original 12th marksheet (with Physics) and the NIOS Mathematics marksheet while applying.

• Before applying for AFCAT, it is recommended to confirm with the official AFCAT or Indian Air Force recruitment office whether the NIOS marksheet for a single subject is accepted.

This path is commonly used by students in similar situations.

Hello,

Yes, you are eligible for the AFCAT Flying Branch if you meet these conditions:

• You must have passed 10+2 with Physics and Mathematics, securing at least 50% marks in each subject.

• You must have completed graduation (minimum 3 years) from a recognised university with at least 60% marks.

Since you had PCB in 12th, you can take Mathematics as an additional subject through NIOS. NIOS is a recognised board, and its certificates are accepted. Just make sure you score at least 50% marks in Mathematics.

You don’t need to take a drop. You can study for the NIOS Mathematics exam along with your graduation. But you must complete and pass the Maths exam before applying for AFCAT.
