The selection process for the Indian Air Force AFCAT 02/2024 recruitment is a comprehensive procedure designed to evaluate candidates for Short Service Commission (SSC) in Flying and Ground Duty branches. It begins with a Written Examination consisting of objective-type questions on General Awareness, Verbal Ability in English, Numerical Ability, Reasoning, and Military Aptitude Test. This exam, lasting 2 hours with a maximum of 300 marks, serves as the initial screening stage. Successful candidates then progress to the Air Force Selection Board (AFSB) Testing, which includes a series of assessments such as the Officer Intelligence Rating Test, Psychological test, Group Tests, and Interview. For candidates applying to the Flying Branch, the Computerised Pilot Selection System (CPSS) is also part of this stage. Following the AFSB Testing, candidates undergo Document Verification to ensure the authenticity of their submitted documents. This verification process is crucial in confirming the eligibility and qualifications of the candidates. Additionally, a Medical Examination is conducted to assess the physical fitness and medical suitability of the candidates who have successfully cleared the previous stages. Overall, the selection process aims to identify individuals who demonstrate the necessary skills, aptitude, and physical fitness required to serve in the Indian Air Force. It is a rigorous yet essential process to ensure that the selected candidates are well-prepared for the responsibilities and challenges of serving in the Air Force.
