The Air Force Common Admission Test (AFCAT), conducted twice a year by the Indian Air Force (IAF), is the most prestigious entrance exam for graduates aspiring to join the Flying, Ground Duty (Technical), and Ground Duty (Non-Technical) branches. As the primary gateway for a Commission in the IAF, the AFCAT is a comprehensive assessment designed to shortlist candidates who possess high mental aptitude, technical proficiency, and the distinct leadership potential required to “Touch the Sky with Glory” as Officers.
The AFCAT selection process is divided into two distinct stages: the online AFCAT written exam and the Air Force Selection Board (AFSB) interview. The written exam evaluates candidates on Verbal Ability, Numerical Ability, Reasoning, and General Awareness. Following the written exam, successful candidates undergo the AFSB interview—a rigorous five-day evaluation of psychological profile, group dynamics, and specialized officer-like qualities (OLQs).
A recognized University Graduation degree (with a minimum of 60% marks) is the fundamental qualification to appear for the AFCAT. While eligibility varies by branch, candidates are generally expected to be between 20 and 26 years of age and meet stringent medical and physical fitness standards, especially regarding vision and height for the Flying Branch. Ultimately, succeeding in the AFCAT requires a sharp intellect, rapid decision-making skills, and a personality that thrives under the high-pressure environment of the Indian Air Force.
