Being a women Candidate, you may join Indian Air Force (Short Service Commission).
Now, depending upon your qualification, you mat join any of the following branches of Indian Air Force:

Flying Branch: For Flying Branch, you must have completed graduation in any discipline with a minimum of 60% marks and must have studied Physics and Mathematics in the higher secondary level. The minimum eligible age to apply for this particular branch is 19 years and the maximum age limit is 23 years.

Technical Branch: For Technical Branch, you must have completed B.Tech Program, preferably in Electronics, Mechanical or Aeronautical engineering, with a minimum of 60% marks. The age limit for the same is 18-28 years.


Meteorological Branch: For this particular branch, you must hold a post-graduate degree in any of the following subjects and have scored a minimum of 50% marks in the same:

Mathematics-Statistics-Geography-Computer Applications-Environmental Science-Applied Physics-Oceanography-Meteorology-Agricultural-Meteorology-Ecology & Environment-Geo-physics-Environmental Biology-Science.
Apart from this, you must have studied Physics and Mathematics in the Bachelors Degree program and have scored atleast 50% in each of the these subjects.

For recruitment in all the branches mentioned above, the Air Force Selection Board conducts Air Force Common Admission Test and the notification for the same is published in the month of June and December every year.

Its quite a brave decision to choose AIR FORCE as a career option being a lady.However you can surely turn out into a successful woman once you enter into the IAF.As an officer with the Indian Air Force, you will lead and manage, and will be posted either as a Pilot, or a Navigator, or a Technical or a Ground Duty officer in any one of the Air Force bases.

As you are a girl you can enter the IAF only with a graduation,where as boys can join even after their 12th by giving their N.D.A exam.So,girls can join Indian Air Force through CDS exam.

There will be a common exam held which is called AFCAT (Airforce Common Admission Test).
This exam is held for three branches:

1) Technical branch
2) Flying branch
3) Ground duty branch (Meteorological,Logistics,Administration)

You should have a minimum of 152 cm height and Eye sight should be 6/6,you should be unmarried and free from all types of diseases.

ALL THE BEST

GOUTHAM.
