AIRFORCE COMMON ADMISSION TEST
The Air Force Common Admission Test (AFCAT) is conducted by the Air Force Selection Board for the recruitment of ground staff and flying branch officers in the Indian Air Force (IAF). Candidates who qualify in the examination are required to register for the five-day Air Force Selection Board (AFSB) process.

AFCAT is conducted in two stages. The first stage comprises a written examination, while the second stage involves a series of assessments. Call letters to report to one of the selection boards—located in Dehradun, Mysuru, Gandhinagar, Varanasi, or Guwahati—are issued to candidates who qualify in the initial testing phase.
An application fee of ₹550 is charged from AFCAT applicants and may be paid via net banking, credit or debit card, or through authorized payment gateways. The examination is conducted twice a year, in February and August.
To be eligible, candidates must be Indian citizens.
Applicants for the Flying Branch must be between 20 and 24 years of age; however, those holding a valid Commercial Pilot License (CPL) issued by the DGCA (India) may be eligible up to the age of 26.
For Ground Duty branches, the age requirement is between 20 and 26 years as of 1 July 2023.
Candidates below the age of 25 must be unmarried at the time of application. Marriage occurring after submission of the application or during training will lead to disqualification, and the candidate will be required to reimburse the training expenses incurred.
Married candidates above the age of 25 are permitted to apply; however, they will not be granted married accommodation nor allowed to reside with their families during the training period.
The date of birth must match the record on the Matriculation certificate or an equivalent qualification; no other documents will be accepted for verification.
