AFCAT 1 2014 Cut Off Marks [Expected]
As we have discussed about cut off marks of previous AFCAT exams, we are expecting cut off marks within the range of 125- 140. To check the cut off marks of previous AFCAT exams visit this link. To be on the safe side one can attempt 50 correct questions and secure 150 marks which are more than enough to clear the AFCAT exam. Candidates must not lose marks by attempting doubtful questions.
AFCAT 1 2014 Paper Structure
- Total questions: 100
- Maximum Marks: 300
- Each Question: 3 Marks
- Negative Marking: -1 for every wrong answer
AFCAT 1 2014 question paper consist of four different sections, i.e. English, Maths, GK and Military Aptitude.
Difficulty Level of AFCAT 1 2014 Questions
- General Awareness: GK questions were moderate and a mix of history, sports, defence, polity etc. Few questions were simple enough to score but overall most of the candidates might not expect much from GK section.
- Verbal Ability in English: This section was not that easy this time, starting from the comprehension passage which was not asked directly and had some difficulty, synonyms and antonyms were strong and so on. Overall one can score more than enough marks from this section.
- Numerical Ability: Maths section was an old story, a regular AFCAT candidate can judge that all questions were similar to previous papers and there was nothing new. With little practice of previous question papers, one can score almost 100% in this section.
- Reasoning and Military Aptitude Test: This section was easy this time, it was divided into many parts and candidates must have faced few questions with new pattern. Shockingly, few questions were repeated from last AFCAT papers. Overall this was the easiest part in the whole AFCAT 1 2014

i hope that the cut off will be around 125-140,,,otherwise ma to gya,,tnsn ho rahi ha,,,
hi,i have attempted 100 questions .am i safe ?
nice joke…
U r 100% safe… aapki jaan ko koi khatra nhi… bas bike chalate time helmet pehnana mat bhoolna.
hii
guys i have done 67 questions….out of which 53 are totally right…so is there any scope of mine?
good chances:)
Guys, while shading my AFCAT number, i made a small mark in a wrong circle before realising it. Then i marked the correct circle. I didnt shade the wrong circle fully but just a slight mark was made. The invigilator refused to give me a second sheet. So i shaded the correct boxes and did my exam very well and submitted. Am pretty sure i will qualify but will my paper be evaluated? Pls reply!
i think on worst case only that question will be taken wrong or not evaluated…
No, i didn’t mark the answer wrong. I shaded my AFCAT number wrong! Thats why am worried! :
dont worry becoz the circle which u have shaded fully will be considered not the half circle. or slight mark
u did a blunder.the omr scanner machine might read both of the dark circle u made and as a result the paper will be rejected.however if the wrong mark is not that dark and oval shaped then the other one will be read by computer automatically.
have you wrote your afcat number correctly in the box by pen?generally what happens is that if the scanner signal an error in answer sheet,the checker usually confirm the data with the manually written afcat no/booklet no etc.that is the reason why we have both boxes and oval columns to fill the details.
hello i am getting around 142 marks will i make this time??
i felt that question no 88 was wrong
what was that dude…????
it was a non-verbal question square pattern
ya that question was wrong because the options didnt match…
i left it..
no dude…u r wrong…mirror image of one option will fit in the given figure and u were required to mark the MOST APPROPRIATE OPTION…there z no surity of the images matching directly.
are u sure?
yes i m
I attempted 67 questions, out of which according to me 4 are worng.What are my chances?
And is there any sectional cutoff in AFCAT 2014?
this time the cut off marks would be near around 136-140
IMP :-
any body marked “cycle of exam” in the OMR sheet as in our centre it was mentioned not to fill it.. But i encircled it as i reached late and didnt heard the instructions..ANY PROBLEM IN THAT GUYS..????
i have attempted 50 questions out of which my 2 questions are wrong will i be able to make this time??
no, i dont think so
but peter according to me if my two questions are wrong then marks obtained will be around 142 and what do u think???
plz rply must peter?????
it depends on the cut off mark .if cut off is for 140 then you will make it this time congratulations
In how many days we can expect results…
Looking at previous years result declarations, according to me it takes approximately two months to publish the result.
Thank You…
what is the importance of afcat number in final merit list
Attempted 67 q some 5-7 risky but most are 80% sure
and remaining was just fun e.g. last section
Any one know result dates
I attempted 62…i think 2 are wrong..is der any chnce?
I attempted 81 questions of which i am expecting atmost 4 wrong,so i can discern that it was on the easier side thats why cut off should be in 160-170 range.
dude you are the topper of AFCAT this time surely !!!!
81 questions doesn’t mean that u are selected most of the times negatine marking affects
I have calculated my marks from different sources and i am getting 215 marks(:( expected a bit more) with 7 wrong ans.Atleast in the worst case i would get above 200.
cutt off marks expected between 138-146
the english portion was totally un expected… synonyms antonyms looking very odd
attempted 60 questions , out of them 10 are wrong
is there any chances for opportunity ??
@sunnyroxta:disquscan u tell me the procedure for preparing afcat ?
i think ppr was bit difficult as compared to previous year question papers. que types were out of league…thr was no error detection part .. time nd work probs were also thr in maths which i thnk ws nt in syllabus
.but i have attemped 73 ques of them 3-4 might be wrong…
figure problems qstns are totally repeated…rest oll r full of attitude
English portion was unexpected…..overall paper was good….i m sure u r in…cut off marks would be near around 136-140
wat wil be the ssb dates?…i am a finl yr student nd wud be having sem exams in the month of may…
the ssb dates shall be started from mid april to september…u can opt any date as per ur choice….as and when result declares , the option for ssb date and place will open..
Can u tell how to prepare for SSB… is there any coaching required? what books i should refer if without coaching ?
hi sanjiv,
how is the ssb process conducted, and how will the ssb form group if people give different dates of preference from April to September….?
i got 139 marks qualified in written test can i kindly know what are the highest marks secured in afcat 2014
I am also a final year student. Looking at previous years result declarations, according to me it takes approximately two months to publish the result.
Although I am also expecting my end semester examinations in May, but Airforce keeps into consideration the examination of various universities. In worst case you would likely be called for selection during your exam gaps (Holidays between your examinations).
Best of luck.
with these many correct answers you can easily make it to SSB interview i must say but maths section had some questions which put enormous stress on the mind….do u think so?
i felt the maths part beginning questions were difficult and time consuming but overall i attempted 92 qns, found around 10 wrong answers from among discussed here… further expecting 10 to 15 more wrong answers… fearful bt the no. of wrong hits…. on worst case i may get around175…
oh my god 73 questions,not bad,,,congo,,
u r beautiful swati i will get through afcat sure…
U r absolutely ryt Swati..paper was a bit difficult…attempted around 85 questions…5 may be wrong….otherwise baki toh thk thak e hai…overall standard and passable paper…
Hi,
I have attended Only 53 questions. But I am sure that I will get more then 45 questions correct. What would be the expected cut off ? You mentioned it will be higher then last means higher than 2013 afcat2 right? thanks a lot
