Students who are studying in 12th standard may also appear for the exam, given that they satisfy the minimum age limit criteria.

This examination is held by UPSC twice a year. Usually, the advertisements are put up on May and December each year. You may make use of the following sites- UPSC. Gov. In and upsconline. Nic. In. The registration process has been made online now. After clearing the NDA written exam and the SSB interview, recommended candidates will have to appear for PABT (Pilot Aptitude Battery Test). PABT test is once in a lifetime test and is meant to check whether a candidate has the potential to become a good pilot or not. Those who clear PABT are then sent for medical examinations. In case of Air Force candidates, medical examination will be thorough. Air Force demands much more, in terms of physical and medical requirements, when compared to other wings of the Armed Forces. On successfully completing the 3 year course at NDA, the Air Force cadets are sent to Air Force Academy, Hyderabad, for further training that lasts 1 year. It is after successfully completing this training that they are commissioned as Flying Officers in the Indian Air Force. Regards.
