I am an architecture student. How can I join Indian air force?

One can join the Indian Air Force as an officer in the flying, technical or the ground duty branches depending on his/her educational qualification. These three branches of the IAF have further sub-streams: (a) Flying Branch: Fighter pilots, Transport pilots, Helicopter pilots - You would be working as any of these pilots both during peace and war. You can get into the flying branch as a graduate [through CDS exam (men), through AFCAT exam (men and women), through NCC special entry (men)]. You can also get in after 10+2 by qualifying the NDA/ NA exam. (b) Technical Branch: Mechanical, Electronics - You would be taking care of some of the most sophisticated equipment in the world - You can get into this branch through the exam, AFCAT or through University Entry Scheme (UES). (c) Ground Duty Branch: Administration, Accounts, Logistics, Education, Meteorology - As part of these mentioned departments, you would be looking after and maintaining human & material resource/ managing funds, work as internal auditors/ work as air traffic controller or fighter controller. You can get into this branch by qualifying AFCAT. After 10+2: There is a golden opportunity for young boys having 10+2 (Science) qualification with Physics and Maths to join as an officer in the Indian Air Force by appearing for the National Defence Academy (NDA) and Naval Academy (NA) Examination conducted by the UPSC conducted twice a year in all major cities throughout India. If you get short-listed for Air Force after the initial selection procedure, you will have to undergo a very strict 3 year training routine at NDA, Khadakwasla. Post this, you will be commissioned as officers and posted as pilots at any of the Air Force Stations. After Graduation: Both men and women, who are graduates, can enter the Air Force as officers through this route. Candidates short-listed after the initial selection procedure (such as the AFCAT exam) go through a rigorous training regimen at one of the Air Force training establishments. Thereafter, they are commissioned as officers and posted at any of the Air Force Stations.
