AFCAT Eligibility

To determine your eligibility for the AFCAT (Air Force Common Admission Test) examination in 2023 (Technical), you need to consider the age criteria set by the Indian Air Force. The eligibility criteria can vary from year to year, so it's essential to refer to the official AFCAT notification or contact the Indian Air Force for the most accurate and up-to-date information.

As of my knowledge cutoff in September 2021, the age criteria for AFCAT (Technical) are as follows:

1. For Flying Branch (AFCAT Entry):

   • Minimum age: 20 years
   • Maximum age: 24 years

2. For Ground Duty (Technical and Non-Technical) Branches:

   • Minimum age: 20 years
   • Maximum age: 26 years

Please note that the age limits mentioned above are based on general eligibility criteria, and there may be certain relaxations or age limits specific to certain categories or candidates with certain qualifications.

Since your date of birth is 21-04-1997, if you are applying for the Flying Branch, you would meet the maximum age criteria of 24 years until 20th April 2021. For the Ground Duty Branches, you would meet the maximum age criteria of 26 years until 20th April 2023.

However, it's important to check the official AFCAT notification or contact the Indian Air Force for the latest updates and specific eligibility criteria for AFCAT 2023 (Technical) to confirm your eligibility based on the actual cutoff dates and any potential changes in the age criteria.
