Registration Extended and Important Deadlines
With the deadline moved to August 4, 2025, candidates have additional days to finalise their applications. Registration involves creating an account on the Agniveer Vayu portal, providing personal details, and verifying email and phone with OTPs. After logging in, applicants must fill out the form, upload required certificates, and pay the fee. Missing documents or incomplete submissions will lead to disqualification.

Applicants must be between 17.5 and 21 years of age and possess a Class 12 certificate: Science stream students require Physics, Mathematics, and English with at least 50% aggregate; Non-Science candidates need 50% aggregate in any subjects plus English. The multi-stage selection begins with a written exam assessing general awareness, reasoning, and numerical ability, followed by a physical fitness test (including running, push-ups, and sit-ups). Successful candidates then undergo document verification and a comprehensive medical examination as per IAF standards.
Preparing for Next Steps After Registration
Once registered, candidates should download and print the confirmation page. Admit cards for the written exam will be released online; monitoring the portal regularly ensures timely updates. Aspirants are advised to start physical conditioning early and gather original certificates for verification. Subsequent phases, including physical tests and medical checks, will be scheduled regionally—details will appear on the Agniveer Vayu portal.
