I hope this information helps you.

Good Luck!!

Well level of mathematics in AFCAT is not difficult. But there are some calculative questions are asked but you can eliminate them by approximation.

Considering if you are beginner and starts from zero then you should start preparing each topic one by one from youtube. You don't need to bother about whether teacher is of defence background or not you just need to complete each topic. One important thing is you don't need to prepare for advance math basic arithmetic is more than enough. Complete the syllabus as early as possible and start practicing for that .

All The Best.

Hello,

INET stands for - Indian Navy Entrance Test.

AFCAT stands for - Air Force Common Admission Test.

as name suggest - 1st one is for Navy & later one is for Air force.

Syllabus wise no major difference. Nearly same.

Rather, I found INET easier as compared to AFCAT.

Hi Prema!

The Age Eligibility Criteria for AFCAT Flying Branch is between 20-24 years of age as of January, 2022. That you must be born between January 2, 1998 and January 1, 2002. So, you will not be eligible for this category!

For Ground Duty, your age should be between 20-26 years of age as of January 1, 2022. You must be born between January 2, 1996 and January 1, 2002. So, for this you are eligible!

When it comes to Education, you should have 60% in Physics and Maths in 12th and B.E/B.Tech or a minimum of 4 year degree for qualification! Or B.Sc. in Finance. If these didn't match then, that might have been the problem!

Hope this is helpful!

All the best!
