If I complete my DGCA basic training can I get placed in airforce as a pilot or can I write AFCAT?

Asked about Hindustan Aviation Academy - AME- EASA Part 66 Basic + Experience + Type Rating

I've completed my 12th. It's my dream to be pilot in Airforce. So can I write AFCAT exam that's conducted by the airforce for the intake of women pilots?

    AFCAT picks up candidates just after graduation for Technical and Flying Branches. They have their own selection procedure.
    It has nothing to do with your basic training or any such training.
    Yes, they do take admissions for CPL Entrance, that is a parallel entry. Where, some age relaxation is allowed.
    There is no point of doing any basic training.

Aspirants should practice the AFCAT previous year question paper for five to seven years. Practising the previous years' question papers helps candidates to know the difficulty level of the exam. This also helps candidates to solve the question paper in the exam with accuracy.
