Is the AFCAT interview difficult?
The Air Force Common Admission Test (AFCAT) is a written examination conducted by the Indian Air Force (IAF) to select candidates for various branches of the Indian Air Force such as the Flying Branch, Technical Branch, and Ground Duty Branch. After clearing the written examination, candidates who have scored above the cutoff marks are called for an interview, which is the second stage of the selection process.
The AFCAT interview is conducted to assess the suitability of the candidates for the respective branches and their overall personalities. The interview board evaluates candidates on various parameters such as communication skills, confidence level, leadership qualities, decision-making abilities, general awareness, etc.
