Hii,

To join the Indian Air Force, the minimum educational qualification depends on the role you're aiming for like

• For Airman Group X (Technical trades)  you need to pass 12th with Physics, Chemistry, and Math, and at least 50% aggregate marks, or a 3-year engineering diploma.
• For Airman Group Y (Non-technical trades)  you need to pass 12th with any stream, again with at least 50% marks.

• For Officer-level posts (NDA or AFCAT) – You must have passed 12th with PCM for NDA, and a graduation degree (with specific subjects) for AFCAT or CDS.

You also need to meet physical fitness standards, including height, eyesight, and running endurance. The selection process includes written exams, physical tests, medicals, and interviews (SSB or AFSB). You can start preparation after 10th itself, but at minimum, 12th pass is required for most airman entries.

Thank you!
