IAF reopens Agniveer Vayu applications

Young aspirants can now register online under the Agnipath scheme

The Indian Air Force (IAF) has reopened its online application process for the Agniveer Vayu recruitment, offering another opportunity for young aspirants to join the force under the Agnipath scheme. The move comes as part of the IAF’s continued efforts to attract motivated and physically fit youth to serve in one of India’s key defence services.

The registration window is now open on the official recruitment portal, where eligible candidates can submit their applications. The Agniveer Vayu intake is aimed at recruiting individuals for various roles in the air force, including ground duties and technical positions that support operations, logistics, maintenance and administration.

Under the Agnipath scheme, selected candidates will be enrolled as Agniveers for a four‑year term, during which they will undergo training and serve in different units of the IAF. After completing the four years, a portion of Agniveers may be selected for longer service in the regular force based on performance, vacancies and medical fitness, while others will exit with a tailored benefits package, including a separation package and opportunities for re‑employment or further education.

To be eligible, candidates must meet certain educational, age and physical fitness criteria as specified in the official notification. Typically, applicants are required to have completed their 10+2 education with specified subjects and minimum marks. There are also medical and physical standards that aspirants must satisfy during the selection process, which includes written tests, physical fitness evaluations and medical examinations.

Officials have also advised aspirants to regularly check the official website for updates on exam dates, admit cards and selection procedures. Preparation tips and syllabus information are made available online to help candidates familiarise themselves with the process.
