How to join Indian Air Force after 10th class as being a girl? And, if I'm eligible to apply for it after passing 10th only than how to prepare for the exams after 10th? And what are the necessary requirements for IAF?

First thing I would like to let you know that female candidates can defence services only as a commissioned officer and for joining Indian Air force as a commissioned officer the available options are through NDA ( National Defense Academy ), CDS ( Combined Defense Services ) and AFCAT ( Air force Common Admission Test).

Further being a female candidate, you are eligible only for entry through CDS and AFCAT only as for joining NDA only unmarried Indian male candidates are eligible.

Also, for appearing in CDS and AFCAT the minimum educational qualification required is a graduation in any discipline from a recognized university with Mathematics and Physics as main subjects at higher secondary school degree level.

So, being a Class 10th passed candidate you are required to pursue Class 12th academics followed by graduation degree course to be eligible for joining Indian Air force.

Sorry, to say that being a female candidate, you are not eligible to join Indian Air Force after completion of your 10th standard. To join Indian Air Force, you have to appear in NDA examination which is conducted by UPSC. Only unmarried male candidates who are in the age of 16.5 to 19.5 years and those who have passed 12th standard from a Government recognised board are eligible to apply for NDA examination for joining in Indian Air Force. So, being a female candidate, you are not eligible to join Indian Air Force.

No, you are not eligible for NDA only unmarried male candidates are eligible for NDA.

They should have 12th degree with PCM
