Is it possible to join the Air Force course after completion of 10th standard? What would be the steps which we need to follow for the same? It will be good if you can provide me the information soon as possible. Awaiting for the response.

No you are not eligible to join the Air Force course after completion of 10th standard because the minimum educational qualification for that is 12th standard with a minimum of 55%. After completion of your 12th class then you need to appear in the National Defence Academy examination which is conducted by Union Public Service Commission in yearly twice. As per my knowledge NDA have three stages I.e Indian Air Force, Indian Army and Indian Navy. The selection of candidate will be done on the basis of Written Examination, Medical Test and Personnel Interview. For detailed information you can visit at www.upsc.gov.in
