    Becoming a pilot in the Indian Air Force (IAF) requires rigorous training and selection through different entry schemes. Here's how you can join:

    • NDA Entry (National Defence Academy) – After 12th Science (PCM), candidates can qualify through UPSC NDA Exam, followed by SSB interviews and flying training.

    • CDSE Entry (Combined Defence Services Exam) – Graduates can apply through UPSC CDSE, followed by SSB selection and Air Force training.

    • AFCAT (Air Force Common Admission Test) – Engineering or Science graduates can enter the IAF through AFCAT (Flying Branch).

    • NCC Special Entry – NCC cadets (Air Wing, C Certificate holders) can apply

    Apply for NDA exam which is conducted twice a year. Get through exam, SSB interview, PABT, Medical, and merit then you get call letter for NDA. Spend three years there as air Force cadet and then spend another 1 and half year at AFA, you are ready to go now. You can also apply for graduate entries such as AFCAT CDSE, NCC. All the best.
