The AFCAT (Air Force Common Admission Test) normalisation of marks is a process that is made to be used to ensure a fair comparison of scores achieved by candidates who take the exam under different conditions. This is important because the difficulty level of the question papers across various shifts (test times) might vary slightly.

No, as the exam is taken online, IAF does not publish the official answer key. A few coaching centres make the answer key public in response to feedback from their students. Model question papers and answer keys are made available by IAF. These aren't the original keys to the answers. Using the AFCAT answer key, candidates can determine their score based on the proportion of right and wrong answers. Since the exam is administered in multiple shifts, IAF normalises the marks in order to determine the applicants' scores. The right answers to the exam's questions can be found in the AFCAT answer key. Candidates can compare their exam repl

The selection process is based on the AFCAT exam cut-off marks. Notification of advancement to the next round of selection is given to those who achieve a score at least equal to the cutoff points. The cutoff is the lowest number of AFCAT qualifying marks needed for applicants to pass the test and move on to the next round of selection. To calculate the AFCAT threshold, 300 marks are utilised. A 150-mark system is used to calculate the EKT cutoff. In 2022, the AFCAT cutoff score was 157 out of 300. The 2019 AFCAT cutoff score was 133 out of 300, and the 2021 cutoff score was 165 out of 300.

Indeed, a score of 191 is above normal and really high. If you pass the AFSB interview, your name will be added to the merit list. Based on the results of the online exam, the AFSB interview, and the medical exam, the final merit list is created. The amount of difficulty, the number of openings, and the number of test-takers are among the variables that go into determining AFCAT scores. For the AFCAT exam, the cutoff marks are determined out of 300, however for the EKT, they are determined out of 150 marks. The AFCAT exam has 300 total points, of which you must score higher than the cutoff. The typical AFCAT cutoff is between 120 and 1

The results of the AFCAT and AFSB interviews are used to make the final decision in AFSB. In order to be eligible for the AFCAT exam, students must receive a score of 140 to 190 out of 300. In September 2024, the Indian Air Force (IAF) will make public the AFCAT 2 cutoff for 2024. The deadline, which is the same for all categories, will be announced on the official website. Candidates who log up with their email address, password, and captcha code can view the AFCAT cut-off scores. The AFCAT threshold is determined subsequent to the marking normalization process.

No, scoring well on AFCAT (English) alone isn't enough. To qualify for the AFSB interview, you need to clear both the AFCAT cutoff (English) and the EKT cutoff (applicable to technical branches) in the AFCAT exam.
