Hello,

Air Force Common Admission Test (AFCAT) is an entrance examination for various posts in Air Force such Flying branch, Ground Duty Technical and Ground Duty Non-technical. These are not research oriented jobs so AFCAT is not the right exam for you if you are interested in research. If you are interested in Research after completion of M.Sc you can appear for exams like IIT JAM, GATE, UGC NET depending on your education qualifications and other such exams to pursue PhD in the field in which you are interested.

Hello Aspirant,

Unfortunately, you are not eligible for joining Flying branch through AFCAT (Air Force Common Admission Test) because as you have mentioned that you have not even scored 60% in either of the Mathematics and Physics but the eligibility criteria of Flying Branch clearly says that if a candidate wants to join flying branch through AFCAT then he/she should have minimum 60% in both Physics as well as Mathematics in 10+2 along with

**Bachelor’s degree (3 years) in any discipline from a recognized university

OR

**hold B.Tech/ BE degree with minimum 60% from a recognized university

OR

**clearance in section A and B exam of Associate Membership of Institution of Engineers (India)/ Aeronautical Society of India with minimum 60% from a recognized university.

So according to the above eligibility criteria everything is fine but the only thing in which you are lacking is you class 12th percentage of Mathematics and Physics, so what I would recommend you is just appear for Mathematics and Physics examination of class 12th from NIOS board and improve your percentage in it.

Hello,

If you want to go for Indian Air force and CDS then you can choose any department of engineering.

But I'll suggest you that you can take mechanical engineering stream or computer engineering stream. This two are best for your in future job. You can learn lots of things which is required for your future. And for your new job you can learn from staring also but you can know about something in your graduation level also. So you can choose between this two stream in BTech.

All the best.

As far as AFCAT is concerned, if youre a serious aspirant, you must be aware of the preparation resources and methods of preparation, the duration and other details of AFCAT as well as have interactions with some of your Seniors who may have cracked AFCAT in Past, in your Third Year. This is basically the Foundation for a Strong AFCAT Preparation  which you may perhaps start in your 4th Year, with full concentration and determination.
