Registration for Air Force Common Admission Test (AFCAT) 02/2026 is closing at 11:59 PM on June 21,2026 .
Candidates who still have not applied need to do it through official AFCAT portal . There are 379 vacancies available under different routes like AFCAT Entry,NCC Special Entry,and GATE Score Entry.
And honestly,this is not small opportunity ah for people aiming to join Indian Air Force . Training for selected candidates is expected to start in first week of July 2027,so this whole process is basically first step toward that long journey.
AFCAT written examination is scheduled for August 8,2026 . After that,those who qualify will move ahead to further selection stages including interviews and physical fitness tests . So it is not just filling form and waiting,proper preparation starts from here only.
Few things candidates should keep in mind today:
- Application deadline is 11:59 PM on June 21,2026.
- Flying Branch age limit is 20 and 24 years,while Ground Duty age limit is 20 to 26 years.
- Application fee is ₹550 plus GST,with exemptions for NCC Special Entry and GATE Score Entry.
To complete application,candidates have to visit official website,fill registration form,upload required documents and make payment if applicable . And tbh,last-minute errors in these forms can create unnecessary headache,so checking everything twice is better.
Those applying through NCC Special Entry or GATE Score Entry routes are exempt from application fee,which will help many candidates . But still,documents and eligibility details need to be correct because selection process does not stop at written exam.
Final merit list will be based on performance in written examination and later evaluations . So yes,deadline is today,but actual competition will continue for long time after this…
And for many aspirants sitting with half-filled form rn,big question is simple: submit properly before 11:59 PM,or regret missing one chance later…
