I am in second year of my engineering (IT branch ) how can I start preparing for CDs,AFcat and also for TGC entry . what can I do so that I can get a minimum time in a day for preparing for all these things ..

Amisha Kumari 24th Nov, 2021

To clear CDS, you must earn at least 20 marks in all subjects, which is the sectional cutoff, and 115 points in all three papers combined, which are English, General Knowledge/Studies/Awareness, and Maths. Of course, if you want to join the Air Force, you should aim for a score of roughly 145/300. However, for Army and Navy, a score of 115/300 should sufficient, though the higher the number, the better.


English - Solve all Previous years papers of CDS

GK - Lucent’s or Arihant's General Knowledge and Study Capsules for Polity and Geography should do the trick if you’re lazy, otherwise I’d recommend NCERT (Classes 9–12) + Indian Polity by M Laxmikanth also The Hindu Newspaper for Current Affairs and Editorials.

Mathematics: Quantitative Aptitude by R S Aggarwal and M Tyra for high speed shortcuts will work best.

For TGS you just have to prepare for ssb.


Afcat- exam is more static Knowledge based.

Maths (18 ques): basic 10th level Maths is asked

Gk: static gk based on current affairs

English : solve previous year papers

Reasoning : You can solve any book for reasoning as practice is the key here.

What is the age limit for the Garud Commando Force? Could I join the Garuda Commando Force after doing a 5-year LLB in college at the age of 23?

aswathypadinjakkara 12th Oct, 2021

Hey

Garud Commando is the special force unit that belongs to the Indian Air Force.The upper age limit for Non-commissioned ranks is 23 year. There is no information available regarding upper age limit for officers however, for ground duty officers, it is 26 and ground duty officers are the officers who volunteer for Garud. So, there is a probability that 26 years is the maximum age limit for officers.

Garud Commandos are trained using Special Forces techniques so that they can handle critical and emergency situations. There are two major processes of selecting Garud Commando, non- commissioned posts which are filled through airmen selection process and commissioned posts which are filled through ground duty trainees of GDOC.

Can I join the Garud Commando Force at the age of 23 as a non-commissioned?

Md Qutubuddin Ansari 7th Oct, 2021

Hello,

I hope you are doing fine, Of course you can join as a garud commando in iaf. For that you have to first join iaf as a ground duty officer i.e admin, logistics, meteorology & technical (ae & am) . After becoming an officer you can volunteer for the garud. As far as maximum age is considered then it's 23 for non commissioned ranks but for officers no info is available but as maximum age allowed for ground duty officers is 26 and ground duty officers are the ones who volunteer for garud so, I think it's 26 years for officers.

I hope you find this information helpful. I wish you all the best for your future.

Good Luck
