Hello,

The minimum height acceptable  for female candidates for Flying Branch is 162.5 centimeters and for Other Branches  is 152 centimeters. For other branches only for candidates belonging to the North East region or hilly regions of Uttarakhand, a lower minimum height of 147 centimeters will be accepted. In case of candidates from Lakshadweep, the minimum acceptable height will be 150 centimeters.

Your height in Centimeters is 157 centimeters approximately. Based on the criteria you are eligible for other branches. You are not eligible to apply for flying branch in Indian Air Force. Besides Physical standards you also need to comply with the medical standards as specified for the post you wish to apply.
