Sir,
I am a final year student doing B.Tech.I am going to write the air force entrance exam on march 27th 2011.Actually I wanted to know the syllabus for it.I would like to get selection for that exam.So can you please send me the syllabus & necessary tips to pass the test?

There is a very good scope for BTech and BE students in the Indian Air Force. The Entrance exam for joining Indian Air Force is called EKT(Engineering Knowledge Test).
Following is the syllabus for the exam.

EKT has two parts, namely

Part B - Specialist Paper for each Engineering discipline: 35 Questions : 1hour

Engineering Knowledge Test is pitched at pre-final to final year engineering level. The test consists of two parts viz General Engineering and Specialist subjects for the two streams of Technical Branches i.e Aeronautical Engineering (Electronics) and Aeronautical Engineering (Mechanical).
