Some candidates those who have applied for Indian Air Force Entries might get confuse between AFSB and SSB Interview procedure, though there is not much difference in the whole process, but there are certain things one must know about AFSB and SSB Interview process. AFSB stands for Air Force Selection Board, the main function of AFSB is to conduct interviews for the candidates and recommend potential candidates to become officers in Indian Air Force. There are total four AFSBs all over India which are, 1 AFSB Dehradun, 2 AFSB Mysore, 3 AFSB Gandhinagar and 4 AFSB Varanasi. One can attend AFSB interviews through CDSE and AFCAT entry. Sometimes Indian Air Force also conducts FTS [Fast Track Selection], which is another way to get into Indian Air Force.

Though there are few minor differences but the whole process is same, one can prepare for SSB or AFSB, it doesn’t matter because both follow the same tests procedure and expect the same level of performance.
Candidates are advised to refer their call up letter for correct and apt details, one must follow the instructions mentioned in the call up letter for SSB or AFSB. For any clarification you are required to call the concerned board only.

Sir i lost my original admit card of afcat written test… It is required on the day of afsb interview… plz guide me.. what should i do… whom to contact. . Its my last chance..afsb at dehradun
Sir, I have my AFSB testing on June 2013 and I have applied for UES entry 2014.
My 6 th sem result is declared and I passed with 78 percent aggregate of all semesters.
But
the official grade cards are not issued from University (can I carry
print outs of the 5 th and 6 th sem grade cards attested with
Principal)and
how about the COURSE-CUM-PERCENTAGE CERTIFICATE.(link http://careerairforce.nic.in/writereaddata/mainlinkFile/File238.pdf)
Do I need to carry it to the AFSB interview or is it only for people who completed final year.
yaah you can take print out of those…..
but those should be attested by ur dean or director….
sir what if a person gets recommended by afsb and is not in the merit list that year,then the next ear will the same person be given extra weightage during afsb ?
last………..but not the least.merit out chances are more in AFCAT as compared other entries in ARMY and NAVY SSB…..
i had heard that each yr. they take almost 120 students?????when results r expected to comeout?
@Admin we think that you should introduce the concept of liking of posts so that we can easily search for most read and most liked posts of yours.
it will also keep your most useful articles always available rather then they getting lost with time,,
ps-just an advice 🙂
Thank you for this suggestion, I would do it asap.
