AFCAT AFSB Interview Preparation Tips: Know How to Prepare for Medical Examination

AFCAT AFSB Interview Preparation Tips:

There are three branches of the National Defence Academy (NDA) which are: the Indian Armed Forces, Indian Naval Academy, and Indian Air Force. The Indian Air Force to admit candidates into Indian Air Force conducts an entrance exam known as the Air Force Common Admission Test (AFCAT). While this AFCAT Exam is further divided into 3 stages which includes the first stage as an Online written test, the second stage is the AFSB interview and the final stage in the selection process of the AFCAT exam is the medical screening test.

And in this article, we will walk through different stages of the AFSB Interview and how to prepare for the same.

 

The AFCAT AFSB Interview which is also known as Air Force Selection Board (AFSB) Interview, is a common interview conducted by the Indian Air Force for the candidates who have successfully managed to clear the AFCAT written exam. 

The main motive to conduct the AFCAT AFSB exam is to test the mental and physical strength of the candidates, which helps in deciding whether a particular candidate is suitable to further join the Indian Air Force or not. The AFSB Interview is further divided into many group tasks and Psychological tests. 

 

Stage 3 of the AFSB Interview witnesses activities such as the Medical Examination test. The candidates who successfully clear the Psychological tests are sent forward for the last stage of the AFCAT AFSB Interview which is the Medical Examination. A candidate before getting admitted into Indian Air Force is medically tested thoroughly for his height, weight, vision and other physical attributes. 

 

For the conduction of the AFCAT AFSB medical examination, a candidate is sent to a medical hospital for a stay of 6-7 days. 

 

Medical Examination:

Candidates must note that permanent tattoos are allowed only on the inner phases of your body. Moreover, candidates are tested for several physical attributes of their body during the medical examination which are mentioned below:

 

• Urine test
• Blood test
• Chest X-ray
• Ultra-sound test
• Eyes check-up (to check Night Blindness)
• Ear-Nose-Throat (ENT) test
• Surgical/medical examination (height and weight, blood pressure, hypertension, reproductive organs and anus)
• Dental check-up 

So, the candidates appearing for the AFSB medical examination should be equally fit in the above-mentioned attributes.

How to become a pilot?:
