Selection Process For AFCAT 2 Recruitment 2024
The Indian Air Force will send call letters to all candidates who clear the AFCAT 2 2024 exam which is the first step of the AFCAT selection process, inviting them to appear for the second stage of selection known as AFSB Testing. The AFSB Testing is divided into two stages.
AFSB Testing Stage 1
It includes the Officer Intelligence Rating Test and the Picture Perception and Discussion Test (PP&DT). This stage acts as a screening test, and candidates who do not clear it will not be allowed to proceed to Stage 2.
AFSB Testing Stage 2
It is more comprehensive and involves several tests.
After clearing Stage 1, candidates proceed to Psychological Tests, where psychologists administer written assessments to evaluate different psychological traits.
Following that, candidates undergo Group Tests, which include both mental and physical tasks to assess them on various criteria.
The AFSB Interview is then conducted by an interviewing officer to determine the candidate’s suitability for an Air Force career. Those applying for the Flying Branch must also take the Computerized Pilot Selection System (CPSS) Test.
Medical Test
Once candidates successfully navigate through the selection stages, they proceed to the Medical Examination, which takes place at either the Institute of Aviation Medicine in Bengaluru or the Air Force Central Medical Establishment (AFCME). Subsequently, a final merit list is compiled based on their performance in the written exam and AFSB interviews. Those who make it to the merit list will be issued joining letters for their chosen training academies. This marks the commencement of their journey in the Indian Air Force.
