Course Overview
Joining the Indian Air Force as a commissioned officer through AFCAT requires more than clearing an online test. It demands speed and accuracy across subjects, physical fitness, clear communication and the officer-like qualities assessed at the Air Force Selection Board.
The OGC–Dehradun Defence Academy AFCAT Coaching Course brings these areas together in one structured programme for graduates and final-year students. It prepares candidates for the Flying, Ground Duty (Technical) and Ground Duty (Non-Technical) branches.
