AFCAT 2016 exam was conducted recently and already there is a hustle amongst the candidates about the cutoff, or the result date. For those of you who have given AFCAT for the first time, here are few things you need to know, what all to do after AFCAT.
The cutoff is the mark including and after which candidates are called for SSB. It means that a certain mark is decided and candidates who score after that are called for SSB. Generally it lies between 110-130. You can look up previous AFCAT’s cut-offs to know the marks. However it depends on the difficulty of the paper, the number of applicants and the average performance.Â
On the day of the result you’ll get to know that the results have been published, either through the IAF website or through our website whichever’s notification reaches you first. Generally we are spot on time. You can look up your roll number in the document published by IAF, also you can login to your account in the candidate login section and get your marks and results.Â
After getting through the written test, you’ll be asked to choose your own SSB date. This is a very flexible step taken by the IAF. This allows you to choose your own SSB date, based on your convenience. What will happen is that you’ll have to login through your candidate login, which you used to fill up the form, and get the admit card. Certain dates will be mentioned out which you can choose the date most suitable to you, for your SSB. Also you can choose your AFSB center.
Generally, it takes up around 15 days to a month for IAF to publish the results. Keeping that in mind you can expect the results by end of September till first week of October.
Except for the name rest everything is more or less the same. Except AFSB is meant for IAF candidates only. And through AFCAT you will get to choose AFSB only as your selection center. There are four functional AFSBs, 3 AFSB Gandhinagar being the newest. Others are 1 AFSB Dehradun, 2 AFSB Mysore and 4 AFSB Varanasi. One thing you should keep in mind is that you can’t choose the AFSB if you reside in that city. For example, if your parents live in Dehradun, or you study in Dehradun you can’t choose Dehradun as your AFSB.
There is ample material present on our website which can guide you step by step to the preparations. Feel free to follow them.
Hello, Warriors! We recently saw the first-ever India-Australia joint naval exercise, AUSINDEX held at Vizag, strengthening Indo-Oz Naval ties. It had not been long since then and ‘Yudh Abhyas’ has started, the India-US annual exercise. The annual bilateral exercise which kicked off on September 9th and runs through September 23rd, focuses on combined US and Indian army training while promoting an enduring partnership and joint interoperability. Participating soldiers will train in low-intensity, counterinsurgency actions, civic assistant missions and quick reaction team operations. There will also be a combined command post exercise.
Here is what you need to know about the Yudh Abhyas 2015, according to reports:
Hello, Warriors! With increasing political tensions like South-China sea, Kashmir Issue, etc between countries, increasing military might is becoming the face of a nation in today’s world. While a country mainly uses its army if talks fail for resolving such issues, a larger army generally means a greater threat to the enemy.
A research done by Business Insider based on the Global Firepower Index among 106 nations and over 50 factors, ranks countries depending on the quantity of ordnance posed by them. Quality of equipment, training and professionalism of it’s soldiers, however, hasn’t been taken into account.
The factors include military budget, available manpower, and the amount of equipment each country has in its respective arsenal, as well as access to natural resources.
Here is the list of the top 5 most powerful militaries based on the Global Firepower Index:
| Active Personnel | 2,05,330 |

Hello, Warriors! In Part-1 of the topic, I’ve covered the various commands under which the army is divided. In this article, I’ll be talking about the organisation of the troops depending on the nature of their work. Based on the same, army is divided into Arms and Services. Soldiers of various ranks are trained in a particular Arm or Service and they continue to serve in it throughout their career. However, basic military training in handling and use of personnel weapons and small arms is the same for all.
1. Arms contain the troops which actively participates and engage in the war fronts in the field.
2. It consists of The Armoured Corps, The Infantry, The Artillery, The Engineers, The Signals, The Air Defence Corps and The Aviation Corps. Among these, The Armoured Corps and The Infantry are the fighting arm and the rest are the supporting arms as they support the fighting arms in the field.
3. The Arms troops get their specialized service studies from the following training institutes/centres:
| REGIMENT/CORPS | SCHOOL/CENTRE |
| Armoured Corps Regiment | The Armoured Corps Centre School, Ahmednagar |
| Corps of Army Air Defence | Gopalpur, Odisha |
| Regiment of Artillery | The School of Artillery |
| Corps of Engineers | The College of Military Engineering, Dapodi. |
| Corps of Signals | Military College of Telecommunication Engineering, Mhow |
4. The troops that provide the logistical support to the arms are called Services. The services consists of The Army Service Corps (ASC), Army Ordnance Corps, Corps of Electrical and Mechanical Engineers (EME) and the famous, Army Medical Corps (AMC).
5. The ASC is responsible for procurement, storage and distribution of supplies, for mechanical as well as animal transportation and air dispatch.
6. The AOC is responsible for procurement, storage and distribution of weapon systems, weapons, munitions, vehicles, equipment and clothing.
7. The EME repairs and maintains all major and minor electrical, electronic and mechanical devices that the army uses and the AMC provides medical and hospital cover for the entire army.
8. The engineers provide the mobility to the fighting arms (e.g. Mine Clearing, Bridges, Obstacle Clearance, Bunker Demolition) while denying mobility to the enemy (e.g. Mine Laying, Demolitions, Obstacle Construction). The signals provide physical dispatch of messages and line and wireless communication. The Air Defence Corps provides support against enemy air attack and the Aviation Corps provides aerial reconnaissance and aerial observation posts, besides providing rapid mobility to commanders in the field.
9. Besides these major services, there are several other services such as Intelligence Corps, Corps of Military Police (CMP), Army Postal Service (APS), Army Education Corps (AEC), Remount and Veterinary Corps (RVC), Army Dental Corps (ADC), Army Physical Training Corps and Legal Department (JAG- Judge Advocate General).
The sub-units, units and formations of each of the arms and services are organised and equipped to carry out their role in the battle. The fighting arms- Armoured Corps and The Infantry engage the enemy in actual direct combat. The Artillery provides the supporting artillery fire while the Services provide necessary arrangements for the Arms to carry out specific tasks and missions.
With this piece of information, I hope things regarding the organisation of the army are pretty clear and will help you holding this extra info for your SSB coincidences.
Good luck!
