Yes, there is only one way in which you can join Indian Air Force as a commissioned officer after 12th class.

You appear NDA written exam conducted by UPSC twice a year and then crack the 5–7 days long interview process.

--- There is no such provision existing which allows girls to join the Indian Air Force after 12th.

---The minimum eligibility criteria requires you to be a graduate. And as a graduate you can join the Indian Airforce through AFCAT exam.

Hi.
To become an Air Force girl officer, you need to complete your graduation and then you can apply for AFCAT exam. But the eligibility criteria for AFCAT is that you must have 60% marks in each maths and physics at 10 + 2 level. So , if you have chosen AB group at 10 + 2 level, then yes you can become an Air Force officer.
Otherwise you can go for the post of medical assistant and you can also be a Medical officer in Indian Airforce with biology. For that, you can appear for AFMC examinations and clear them and become a medical officer. But the selection for AFMC is through all india NEET and there are only 25 seats open for girls.If you will work hard, you can definitely achieve that.
Thank you.
