Sir Can a 155.5cm can Apply for Afcat in flying branch??I know requirement is 165 But anyhow is their any chance

Ans: If it is below the standard limits set by doctors, then flying branch may not be for you Monika. You could, however try for ground duties if keen! Leg length requirement is an aeromedical one and one cannot have any tolerances on that count.

What are the chances to get merit out in afcat for flying branch if you've cleared all stages till medical but with a slightly average written marks?
Ans: Hi Gaurav,
Greetings.
Whenever we decide to take an entrance exam, it’s important to review the guidelines thoroughly. Like other entrance exams, CDAC has provided details on their website regarding the examination process. Admission is based on the vacancies available in the respective areas, and candidates will be admitted after a proper evaluation.

As you mentioned, there are several stages that candidates must clear for admission, if a candidate achieves average marks (Point 8a. (v) In order to rationalise the marks scored by candidates appearing in different shifts in an objective manner through a statistical method, before declaration of result marks scored by candidates will be Normalised based on the formula ), it can be challenging to predict their likelihood of admission. The Air Force has the discretion to set qualifying marks for any or all subjects of the examination. Below are points extracted from CDAC to provide more clarity about the admission process.

Sometimes, they may even consider a second cut-off if necessary ( Based on organizational requirements, IAF may impose a second cut-off for particular branch and call additional eligible candidates for SSB testing. These candidates will be shortlisted purely based on order of merit for the particular branch. That particular branch should be one of the choices submitted by the candidate at the time of registration. The candidature of candidates thus shortlisted, will be valid for that particular branch only and not for any other branch. In the overall Order of Merit, they will be placed below the last candidate qualifying the First AFCAT cut off marks {Para 9(a) above}. If successful in the selection process, these candidates will be inducted into that particular branch only, subject to vacancies and order of merit. These candidates would be required to submit an undertaking to this effect).

So,If you've decided to pursue this path, then proceed with thorough preparation.

BEST OF LUCK.
POOCHO. LIFE CHANGE KARO!

My daughter got CSE AI in IGDTU Delhi, and CSE in IIEST Shivpur college....which one we should choose
Ans: Susmita Madam, Indira Gandhi Delhi Technical University for Women’s B.Tech CSE–AI programme is NAAC-accredited and NIRF-ranked, delivered by PhD-qualified faculty through a dedicated Centre of Excellence in AI with specialized labs for computer vision, NLP and deep learning. It reports a 73 percent placement rate for CSE–AI, an average package of ?22.82 LPA and strong industry-research collaborations with government bodies and tech firms. IIEST Shibpur’s B.Tech CSE is part of an Institute of National Importance, offers NBA-accredited curricula in OOPS, DBMS and digital logic, supports robust research centres (DataKart CoE, AI labs) and achieves an 86.2 percent CSE placement consistency, with recruiters such as Google, Microsoft and Accenture participating in campus drives. Both institutions maintain modern infrastructure, interdisciplinary project opportunities and active placement cells.

Recommendation:
Given higher CSE placement consistency, broader recruiter engagement and the Institute of National Importance status, IIEST Shibpur’s CSE offers the stronger long-term career platform. However, if specialized AI research and a women-centric campus environment are priorities, IGDTUW’s CSE–AI remains an excellent choice. All the BEST for Admission & a Prosperous Future!
