Official Update: Online registration for AFCAT 1 2023 starts on 1st December 2022. For the upcoming AFCAT 1 2023 Exam, the IAF is adding the Weapons Systems Branch for the first time. Flying, technical, weapon systems, administration, logistics, accounts, education, meteorology, and NCC Special Entry Flying (NCC Air Wing ‘C’ certificate is required) are the entry branches for AFCAT 1 2023. Stay tuned for the official notification and announcement for more information.
Indian Air Force invites Indian citizens (Men and Women) to be part of this elite force as Group ‘A’ Gazetted Officers in Flying and Ground Duty (Technical and Non-Technical) branches. Online AFCAT examination will be conducted on 24 Feb 23, 25 Feb 23 and 26 Feb 23.
The illustrious division of Indian Defense Services is the Indian Air Force. It gives one immense honour to be a member of the IAF. The Indian Air Force administers the Air Force Common Admission Test (AFCAT), a national exam, to choose applicants for Class-1 Gazetted Officers in Flying and Ground Duties (Technical and Non-Technical). Two times a year, the exam is given.
The AFCAT 1 2023 notification will be released by the Indian Air Force on 1st December 2022. The registration period for the AFCAT 1 2023 will open on December 1 and close on December 30, 2022. The AFCAT 1 2023 notice and exam date are keenly awaited by numerous Indian Air Force and AFCAT hopefuls who are geared up for the SSB interview and AFCAT 1 2023 written exam.
Every year, almost 6-8 lakh people take the AFCAT exam. Only 10,000 of those applicants will be placed on the selection list. It simply indicates that the AFCAT is not a simple exam and that applicants need prepare well before taking the test.
Indian citizens (men and women) are invited to join the Indian Air Force as Group A Gazetted Officers in the Flying and Ground Duty (Technical and Non-Technical) branches. The AFCAT 1 2023 online test will take place in February of that year.
The official notice of AFCAT 1 2023 will be released by the Indian Air Force in December 2022. Registrations for the AFCAT 1 2023 will open in December 2022.
Exams for the online AFCAT 1 2023 would possibly be given in the second week of February 2022. The AFCAT 1 2023 notice and exam date were keenly awaited by numerous Indian Air Force and AFCAT hopefuls who are preparing for the AFCAT 1 2023 written exam and SSB interview. We are aware that the Indian Air Force announces the Air Force Common Admission Test announcement twice a year.
Nationality. The candidate must be a citizen of India as per the Indian citizenship act, 1955.
For the courses starting in February 2024, online applications are being accepted for the award of Short Service Commissions (SSC) in the Flying Branch and Permanent Commissions (PC) and Short Service Commissions (SSC) in the Ground Duty (Technical and Non-Technical) Branches. For the NCC Special Entry Scheme (For flying branch) and for Meteorology Entry, online applications are also being accepted for the issuance of PC/SSC.
Candidates should make sure they meet all requirements for admission to the exam before submitting an application. Their admittance at all examination stages, including the written exam and SSB test, will be solely provisional, pending their fulfillment of the necessary eligibility requirements. The IAF will revoke their candidacy if verification conducted at any point prior to or following the written exam or AFSB Testing reveals that they do not meet any of the eligibility requirements.
The mere issuance of an admit card or call-up letter does not signify that the Indian Air Force has officially approved the candidate’s application.
Only individuals who took their 12th-grade exams using the 10+2 format are eligible to apply for these courses.
In the Ground Duty (Non-Tech) branches, there are two seats earmarked for candidates who have a law degree; these candidates may be hired to perform legal tasks for the IAF (after commissioning).

If you are preparing for the AFCAT 1 2023 and AFCAT 2 2023 written exam and SSB interview, you can check SSBCrackExams online courses and mock tests.
The fee for the AFCAT 1 2023 Entry Exam. After filling out the online application form, the Rs. 250/- (non-refundable) exam fee for AFCAT entry (not applicable for NCC special entry and meteorology entry) can be paid online through the “Make Payment” step on the main menu of the online application. There will be no way to pay the exam fee with cash, a check, or a demand draught (DD). Through the payment gateway, you can pay the exam fee with a credit card, a debit card, or your bank account. Applicants are told to follow the steps or instructions on the payment gateway and to print or save the details of the transaction for their own records. After the bank confirms that the payment has been received, the “Payment Status” will show the “Registration Number,” which the candidate can write down for future communication. At the same time, the candidate will get a confirmation e-mail or text message. This will be followed by the admit card with the hall ticket number, which will be sent to the candidate’s registered email address and can also be downloaded from the candidate’s registered email address.
