Ans: Shortlisting of candidates for Phase-II is done by applying cut-off to call a sizeable number of candidates for Phase-II testing at various ASCs. Candidate’s name appearing as having been shortlisted solely depends upon the performance of the candidates in the online Written Test.

Ans: Candidates who have cleared the Selection Tests comprising of Written Test, PFT-I, PFT-II, Adaptability Test-I and Adaptability Test-II, and have undergone Medical Test (whether declared Fit or Unfit), have to secure place in Provisional Select List (PSL) published pertaining to the exam cycle in which one has cleared the Selection Test.

Ans: It is a list of candidates (published as per their Roll Number) who could not make it in PSL as they are low in merit.
Q 14. I have cleared the Selection Tests but my name does not appear in the PSL. Why?
Ans: Merely clearing the Selection Tests does not guarantee appearing of names in the PSL. Names not appearing in the PSL denotes that you are low in merit. You can also check for the PSL Cut off marks printed on PSL to compare your individual score in selection test.
Q 15. I have been issued with Green Card and my name has also appeared in the PSL published in website but I have not been called for enrolment. Why?
Ans: Green Cards are issued to the candidates who pass the Medical Examination during Selection Tests. Issue of Green Card does not give any guarantee for enrolment in IAF. Medical Examination is one among the various criteria for enrolment and it only denotes medical Status of the candidates.
Q 16. My name is in PSL, but there is a code against my name as CSV. What is this?
Ans: CSV stands for “Certificate Subject to Verification”. This is because, there is an anomaly in your documents/certificates. This was intimated to you at the time of Selection Test and an undertaking was given by you to clear the anomaly and produce corrected certificate(s) within the given timeframe. The indication of ‘CSV’ against your name in PSL denotes that you have to clear the CSV status within the stipulated time. The candidature of candidates who fail to get the CSV cleared within the stipulated timeframe, gets automatically cancelled on the day of enrolment. However, keeping in view the procedural delay in Educational Boards, your candidature is not cancelled and your CSV status is maintained to avoid cancellation of candidature. You are advised to get the anomaly cleared by the date as mentioned on the first page of PSL. If the CSV is not cleared, your candidature will get automatically cancelled on the day of enrolment.
Q 17. I was awarded CSV status; I have received the corrected certificates from the concerned Board. Where should I report for clearing the CSV Status and what all documents I have to carry?
Ans: To clear the CSV status, you have to report to Commanding Officer of any one of the fourteen ASCs which is located close to your place/convenient to you. You have to produce the following documents for clearance of CSV status:-
a. CSV Undertaking Certificate handed over to you at the time of Selection Test.
b. All Original Documents that you have produced in support of your qualification at the time of Selection Test. Also, all original documents you want to produce for clearance of your CSV status.
c. Three sets of self-attested photocopies of these documents.
ASC will verify these documents. The photocopies will be retained by the ASC and the original documents after verification, will be handed over to you.
Q 18. I have no internet facility in and around my village as it is located at a remote area. How would I come to know about my Selection in IAF?
Ans: A copy of the PSL Display List will be available at the ASC under which you have appeared in the selection test. In case you have appeared in Recruitment Rally conducted by IAF, a copy of PSL Display List will also be available in District Collector’s /District Magistrate’s Office under whose jurisdiction the Rally has been conducted.
Q 19. My name is in the Enrolment List published on Air Force website, but did not receive my eCall Letter till date. Why?
Ans: e-Call Letters are dispatched to candidates well in advance on the e-mail ID provided by the candidates at the time of Selection Tests. In case, you do not receive e-Call Letter, you can take print out of the page of enrolment list in which your name appears from website https://agnipathvayu.cdac.in and report to the concerned ASC at the time and date mentioned therein. You are also advised to download and bring along the duly filled ‘Consent form’ (applicable only for the candidates below 18 years of age on the date of enrolment), follow the instructions given in the ‘Joining Instructions’ and ‘Instructions for candidates’ available on the website.
Q 20. I have received the e-Call Letter for enrolment in IAF, but it indicates that I was called as Stand By candidate. Is it necessary for me to report for enrolment? And what are the chances of my enrolment?
Ans: Yes, you have to report as directed in your e-Call Letter, else you will be marked as absent and your candidature against your Roll Number will automatically get cancelled. Thereafter, you will not be considered for future enrolments against that Roll Number. Candidates are called as ‘Stand by’ to cater for shortfall which arises due to non-availability of Main candidates on the day of enrolment due to various reasons ie. Absenteeism, Unwillingness, Medical Unfitness etc.
Q 21. I have received the e-Call Letter for enrolment in IAF, but it indicates that I have to undergo re-medical examination. I was medically examined earlier and issued with Green Card (Fitness) then why re-medical?
Ans: At the time of enrolment of the candidate before final induction at the concerned ASC, a fresh medical examination is carried out to ascertain the fitness of the individual on the day of enrolment. Any shortfall in medical fitness vis-à-vis the entry medical standards will entail rejection even at this stage.
Ans: No, you will not be considered. You have to report to CO, ASC on date and time as directed in your e-Call Letter. Enrolment is a time bound activity and it is to be completed as per schedule. If you do not report as directed in your e-Call Letter, you will be marked as ABSENT on the day of enrolment and the next eligible ‘STAND BY’ candidate as per merit, will be enrolled. Your candidature will get cancelled automatically and you will not be called for future enrolments in IAF against that Roll Number.
Q 23. I have cleared the Selection Tests and my name has also appeared in PSL Display List. Whether this confirms my employment in IAF?
Ans: No, merely clearing the selection test or securing place in PSL does not give guarantee for enrolment in IAF. You have to undergo whole enrolment process and your enrolment will be subjected to availability of vacancy on the date of enrolment, your merit position and your medical fitness.
Q 24. I was called for enrolment as a ‘Stand By’ Candidate. However, I was not enrolled and was routed back. Will I be called again?

Q 27. If the enrolment is delayed and I cross the age of 23 years, will I still be considered for enrolment?
