For a B.Tech in Civil Engineering (bachelor) candidate applying for AFCAT, the correct option is Graduate
Option D
.
Explanation:
AFCAT eligibility:
AFCAT requires a Bachelor's degree in any discipline (or B.Tech) from a recognized university with a minimum of 60% marks.
Engineering Graduates:
Engineers (B.Tech) are specifically mentioned as eligible under a graduate category, which is option D according to Quora.
Civil Engineering:
Since Civil Engineering is a B.Tech degree, it falls under the engineering graduate category, thus making option D the correct choice.
Option D:
Option D is specifically designed for engineering graduates. It allows you to mention your degree and specify your engineering discipline (Civil Engineering).
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.
