Hence cracking AFCAT is no more an affair of one month study, you need to study well before and know the exact things what may be asked. This article will cover the general information about AFCAT paper.

The questions are asked from the fields of Current Affairs, General Knowledge, and Mathematics of high school level, reasoning and English. For each correct answer 3 marks are avoided and for every wrong answer 1 mark is deducted. The time duration for the exam is two hours. Hence the Paper is of 300 marks. The cutoff for the previous AFCAT exam was 116 (AFCAT 2-2013) however of earlier AFCAT exams i.e. AFCAT1/2013, AFCAT2/2012 etc ranged around 143-144 marks.

Important Notes: Make sure that you fulfill the eligibility criteria of the AFCAT. Sit with your mark sheets and fill in the correct percentage. Proper care should be taken by the engineering students since they have to fill in certain subjects in order to qualify for the Technical Branch Entry. Be ready with a photograph which must be following the standard of the Application. Have a scanned or digital size photograph you can edit it as per instructions to reduce/increase its size. Be careful while filling the exam center since the centers for Written exams are never changed (Except for some very very very rare cases).
