Yes, it is possible to join the Indian Air Force as a medical graduate. The Indian Air Force offers opportunities for medical professionals to serve as commissioned officers in various medical branches. Here are the entry options available for medical graduates:

Armed Forces Medical Services (AFMS) through the Armed Forces Medical College (AFMC): AFMC conducts a separate entrance examination for medical graduates interested in joining the Armed Forces Medical Services, which includes the Indian Air Force Medical Branch. Successful candidates are commissioned as Short Service Commissioned (SSC) officers in the AFMS and serve as medical professionals in the Indian Air Force.

Short Service Commission (SSC) in Medical Branch: The Indian Air Force also offers opportunities for medical graduates to join as SSC officers in the Medical Branch. These positions include specialist doctors (like physicians, surgeons, gynecologists, anesthetists, etc.) as well as general duty medical officers (GDMOs). The selection process involves a written examination, interview, and medical fitness tests.

Postgraduate Medical/Dental Education: Medical graduates who have completed postgraduate degrees (MD/MS/MDS) can also join the Indian Air Force as commissioned officers. They can apply for specialty posts in their respective fields.
