- Adaptability Tests 1 and 2: These tests evaluate a candidate’s ability to adapt to military life and various situations. They assess suitability for the IAF environment.
- Medical Examination: The final stage involves a comprehensive medical examination. This ensures candidates meet the required health standards for service in the Indian Air Force.
Admit Card and Exam City Intimation
Candidates will receive their admit cards via their registered email IDs. These will be dispatched approximately 2-3 days before the scheduled examination. It is mandatory for candidates to download and print a color copy of their admit card. This printout serves as their hall ticket and must be carried to the exam center for verification purposes.
To assist candidates with their travel planning, the Indian Air Force will provide a Phase 1 city intimation slip. This slip will be made available at an earlier date, informing candidates about their allotted examination city. This advance notice helps candidates arrange their logistics effectively for the examination day.
