Hey friend,

First you all you cannot apply for joining in Indian Air Force as with your qualification,as you are now only doing your 1st year in your Graduation.Anyways as per what you have mentioned it would be better that you apply for the entrance exam after graduation which is the AFCAT EXam

The AFCAT stands for Air Force Common Admission Test and this exam is conducted for candidate to join in Ground Duty,Technical and Flying Branch in Indian Air Force.

There is eligibility standards which are needed to be satisfied in order to apply for the exam and they are:
