Can I join Indian Air Force after B.com in correspondence from Bangalore University. I am 24 as of now and I am awaiting my final year results to be announced.

What is the minimum percentage...?

BU is UGC/DEC recognized

You can not join Indian Air Force after B.Com. in Correspondence but you can join Indian Army(Indian Military Academy) through appearing CDS(Combined Defence Service) entrance exam conducted by UPSC twice every year.

There is no percentage of marks required in Graduation for application to CDS but the Graduation Degree should be from a recognised University either from regular or from correspondence course.

Apart from this the candidate must be an unmarried Indian male within the age group of 19 to 24 years with good Physical and Mental health.

As you are from B.Com. stream you are eligible to apply for Indian Military Academy and Indian Officer's Training Academy of CDS.

The selection is through written exam followed by personal interview along with Physical Fitness and Medical Test.
