The AFCAT 01/2025 application window is closed. Registration ran from 2 December to 31 December 2024, so the old afcat.cdac.in application link is not a current route to apply. For the next opportunity, use the Indian Air Force’s official notifications page and follow the latest cycle’s notice.
What happened to the AFCAT 01/2025 application?
The application period for AFCAT 01/2025 ended on 31 December 2024. A contemporaneous report also gave the registration dates as 2 December through 31 December 2024 (Scroll.in’s December 2024 report). The Indian Air Force’s notifications page lists the 01/2025 notice alongside notices for later cycles, confirming that this is a past recruitment cycle.

Where to find the next AFCAT opportunity
Check the IAF notifications page for current cycle notices. Open the notice for the cycle you intend to apply to and use its application instructions; eligibility and rules can change between cycles. Confirm the branch and entry eligibility, age and education requirements, application window, fee, and exam schedule in that notice before taking action.
#1 Best Overall
The official AFCAT 01/2025 notification is the authoritative source for that historical cycle’s eligibility, branches, fees, application instructions, and exam conditions, but it does not reopen registration. Use the notice for the current cycle instead.

The IAF’s AFCAT examination guidance says candidates should bring an e-Admit Card, Aadhaar card, and a second valid photo identity card on exam day. It gives the marking scheme as three marks for a correct answer, a one-mark deduction for an incorrect answer, and no marks for an unattempted question. Check the applicable cycle’s notification and admit-card directions for current instructions.
Rank #2
The 01/2025 notice also referenced an online practice test available through IAF websites. It may be useful as a free official practice resource where available for a future cycle; it is not an application requirement. A preparation book is optional, not an IAF requirement or endorsement.
