[QUOTE=maddusajj;365862]hi...
at your age ,the best way to become an indian air force pilot is to write and clear the NDA EXAM,
even after clearing the nda exam there are many other special considerations for joining the air force.
first of all your eye sight should be perfect,without any repair don on it,
also they will check your body and find whether the build up of your body can take the g forces which an pilot experiences,
and most important point to note is that you have to pass an stimulation program to become an pilot,and if you fail that exam you will never in your life will get another chance to become an pilot,
