Yes I am very happy to SEE your choice since I do had served Air Force for 30 long years in there aeronautical engineering branch. It's one of the best in the country as well as in the world. You need to study hard so that you obtain at least 60% in your graduation examination then subsequently when you appear for AFCAT you need to do well so that you are in the merit list and then you will be going in for services board selection and after successfully clearing it you will be placed in the order of merit before you actually join the Indian airforce.

Yes, you definitely are eligible to pursue your career in the flying sector. However, if you want to get a job as a pilot then you need to go to flying school with requisite medical so that you can complete the course being medically fit and then join the airlines in the capacity of the pilot of the aircraft in which you will get the license from DGCA. However, there are plenty of other jobs in the flying sector like a traffic controller meteorology maintenance travel and tourism etc. For different sectors, there are different eligibilities, and one needs to qualify to get a job. Best wishes to you.

Then you have to read as to whether you are eligible for the exam or not. But I am afraid perhaps you have a left out the name of examination that you want to appear for. But do not worry let me assure you that final year B.Tech students are always allowed to appear for any entrance exam for any exam for that matter where qualification is graduation or graduation in engineering. So do not worry and prepare well for your graduation since this will be counting in all your future life. Best wishes to you.

In such conditions is quite tough and almost impossible to continue studies particularly of engineering graduation since I would strongly advise against joining any correspondence course for engineering. However you have one better option with you to obtain exactly same qualification. You can appear for and obtain AMIE certification which is equivalent to graduation in engineering for all practical purposes. Other than professional courses, an air warrior can always continue with his education via correspondence courses. As a matter of fact IAF supports such activities and the education branch offices encourage air warriors to acquire such additional qualifications. Best wishes to you.
