Indian Air Force Agniveervayu Recruitment Guide

What Agniveervayu recruitment is

The Indian Air Force recruits Agniveers (below officer rank) under the Agnipath scheme; this intake is called Agniveervayu. Recruitment is organised around an online (computer-based) test, followed by a physical fitness test, adaptability tests and a medical examination.

Agniveervayu recruitment is offered in two broad streams — Science and Other than Science — which differ in eligibility and in the online test they take. Choose the stream that matches your Class 12 background, then follow that stream's specific requirements.

• Agniveervayu is the Air Force's below-officer Agniveer intake.
• Two streams: Science and Other than Science.
• Selection combines an online test, physical, adaptability and medical stages.

Who conducts it

Agniveervayu recruitment is conducted by the Indian Air Force through its official recruitment portal (CASB) at agnipathvayu.cdac.in. The online test and related processes are administered under the Air Force's recruitment framework.

Apply and check details only through the official portal. Each intake publishes an official notification listing the streams, eligibility, selection stages and important dates.

Streams and eligibility (defer specifics officially)

Eligibility depends on the stream. The Science stream is generally for candidates who have completed 10+2 with specified science subjects (such as mathematics, physics and English) from a recognised board, or an eligible engineering diploma. The Other than Science stream is generally for candidates who have completed 10+2 in any subjects (with English) from a recognised board, or an eligible vocational course. Nationality, age band, and physical and medical standards also apply.

Recruitment is open to Indian citizens as specified in the official notification. The exact subject and marks requirements, age band, and physical and medical standards are set in the current notification and are periodically revised — confirm them for your stream before applying.

• Science stream: 10+2 with specified science subjects (per the notification).
• Other than Science stream: 10+2 in any subjects with English (per the notification).
• Age, marks and physical/medical standards: verify on the official portal.

Selection stages and test pattern

Selection generally moves through: an online application; an online (computer-based) test; a physical fitness test; adaptability tests; and a medical examination — leading to a provisional selection list and enrolment.

The online test content depends on the stream (broadly, the Science stream test covers subjects like English, physics and mathematics at the 10+2 level, while the Other than Science stream test covers English along with reasoning and general awareness). The number of questions, marks, time, any negative marking, and the qualifying standards for the physical, adaptability and medical stages are all specified in the official notification and guidelines — verify them there.

How to prepare

Read the notification and syllabus for your stream first so you prepare the correct subjects at the 10+2 level. Build fundamentals in the listed subjects, practise the online test format under timed conditions, and steadily build fitness toward the published physical standards.

The adaptability tests assess suitability for the service environment as per Air Force policy; approach them as part of the standard process. No academy or website can guarantee selection — it depends only on your performance and the selection list, so be cautious of any 'guaranteed selection' claim.

What to verify officially

Stream eligibility, subjects, marks, age band, the online test pattern, physical/adaptability/medical standards, fees and the application window change across intakes. Confirm each before applying.

Rules and eligibility can change — verify on the official Indian Air Force Agniveervayu recruitment website (agnipathvayu.cdac.in) before relying on any detail.
