Crack AFCAT with practice built by an officer who has coached all three services.
Section-wise General Awareness, Verbal Ability, Numerical Ability and Military Aptitude practice, previous year papers, and three-level expert-authored explanations — guided by Col Vishal Sharma (Retd.), 33 years in uniform and years of mentoring officer aspirants across the Army, Navy and Air Force.
One paper, four sections, then AFSB.
The Indian Air Force conducts AFCAT twice a year (AFCAT 1 and AFCAT 2), for Flying and Ground Duty (Technical and Non-Technical) branches. Clearing the written stage qualifies you for the AFSB — the Air Force's version of the SSB.

|---|---|---|
| General Awareness | 2 hours (no sectional limit) | 75 |
| Verbal Ability (English) | 75 | |
| Numerical Ability | 75 | |
| Reasoning & Military Aptitude Test | 75 | |
| Total (100 questions) | 300 |
+3 marks for each correct answer, −1 for each wrong answer, 0 for unattempted questions. Technical branch candidates additionally take the EKT (Engineering Knowledge Test).
