    Re: How can I join Indian Air Force through UPSC exam?

    Dear

    if you complete the degree in the science field then you give the CDS exam.

    degree complete from the recognized university.

    exam conducted bi-annually

    age limit: 19 to 23 years

    no relaxation for the reserve category.


    other wise the Indian air force open the vacancy directly as a diifferent-2 post.

    which is different-2 qualification base and age limit.

    so you update with the Indian air force official website and the employment news paper.

    best of luck for the furture
