For AFCAT exam as per the criteria of aggregate 60% each in Physics and maths I have 82% in maths and 58% in physics. Am I eligible for the exam?
Hello Aspirant,
In AFCAT. Fyling branch, Ground duty(technical) and Ground duty (non-technical) are the 3 posts you can apply for.
As far as the educational qualification is concerned , for flying duty , candidates must have passed Class 12 with 60% in Maths and Physics and graduated in any discipline/BE/BTech/Cleared section A and B exam of Associate Membership of Institution of Engineers (India) or Aeronautical Society of India with 60%.
For Ground Duty (technical) -Candidates must have completed Class 12 with 60% in Physics and Mathematics and a minimum of four years degree graduation/integrated post-graduation in Engineering/Technology from recognized university.
Or,
Should have cleared Sections A and B examination of Associate Membership of Institution of Engineers (India) or Aeronautical Society of India or Graduate membership examination of the institution of Electronics and Telecommunication Engineers by actual studies with 60% in computer, electrical,electronics ,instrumentation & control or IT specializations in engineering.
So without 60% in both math and physics in class 12 ,you are not eligible to apply for technical posts.
On the other hand ,
For Ground Duty (non-technical)
The educational requirements are as follows:
Administration and Logistics( Anyone)
Bachelor's degree (three years) from a recognised university in any discipline with at least 60% or equivalent
OR
Section A and B examination of Associate Membership of the Institution of Engineers (India)/Aeronautical Society of India from a recognised university with 60%.
